Equipment

  • Tall glass (Highball or Collins glass works great)
  • Bar spoon or regular spoon for stirring
  • Measuring jigger for precise pouring

Ingredients
  

  • 2 oz Tequila Blanco or Silver
  • 4 oz Orange Juice
  • 1 oz Grenadine
  • Ice cubes
  • Orange slices and cherries for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Step-by-Step Instructions
  • Fill the glass with ice: Take a tall glass and fill it up with ice cubes to the top. This will help keep the drink nice and chilled.
  • Pour the tequila and orange juice: Add 2 oz of tequila to the glass first, followed by 4 oz of orange juice. Stir gently to mix them together.
  • Slowly add grenadine: Here's where the magic happens. Slowly pour 1 oz of grenadine down the side of the glass. Since grenadine is heavier, it will sink to the bottom, creating that beautiful “sunset” effect.
  • Garnish: Add a slice of orange and a cherry on top for garnish. Not only does it look good, but the citrus adds a nice aromatic touch.
  • Enjoy!: Sip and enjoy the layered flavors of sweet grenadine and zesty orange juice mixed with smooth tequila. It’s the perfect balance of refreshing and sweet.
