Unveiling the Timeless Tequila Sunrise 🌅

Let's start off with a classic, the Tequila Sunrise. This cocktail is a beautiful blend of orange juice, tequila, and grenadine, which creates a visually stunning sunrise effect in the glass. The best tequila for cocktails like this is a smooth, high-quality one like Don Ramon Tequila.

Instructions

  2. Pour the tequila over the ice.
  3. Add the orange juice.

Notes

For the best sunrise effect, pour the grenadine slowly and do not stir the drink afterwards. The grenadine should naturally sink to the bottom and gradually rise up through the orange juice, creating a beautiful sunrise effect.
