Tequila Sunrise Recipe

 Tequila Sunrise

 


In Sausalito, at the Trident bar, Bobby Lozoff and Billy Rice made the first Tequila Sunrise in the early seventies. It was a simple thing. Tequila, orange juice, and grenadine. They layered it like a summer dawn.
 

Ingredients

    ⁃    2 ounces blanco tequila *
    ⁃    4 ounces orange juice, freshly        squeezed
    ⁃    1/4 ounce grenadine
    ⁃    Garnish: orange slice
    ⁃    Garnish: cherry

 Directions

Add the tequila and then the orange juice to a chilled highball glass filled with ice.

Top with the grenadine, which will sink to the bottom of the glass, creating a layered effect.

Garnish with an orange slice and a cherry.


* To convert fluid ounces to tablespoons, you multiply the number of fluid ounces by 2.
