Tequila sunrise

Tequila sunrise

Tequila Sunrise is a legendary, refreshing highball cocktail featuring a vibrant combination of tequila, orange juice, and grenadine. Renowned for its stunning visual gradient reminiscent of a summer sunrise, it is perfect for warm afternoons and pool parties. For the best visual effect, slowly pour the grenadine down the inside of the glass so it settles at the bottom without mixing prematurely.
