Change Servings
Prep Time
5 minutes
Total Time
5 minutes
Serving Size: 6 ounces
Directions
  • Place ice in glass so it is half full. Add tequila followed by the fresh orange juice.
  • Put a flat handled spoon into the glass. Add the grenadine quickly, allowing it run down the back side of the spoon so it sinks to the bottom of the liquid.
  • Garnish with an orange slice and a cherry.

    Note: To make an authentic Tequila Sunrise, make sure to add the grenadine syrup last so that it can sink to the bottom and then begin to rise to create the sunrise effect.
