Tequila Sunrise

The Tequila Sunrise cocktail is a vibrant and visually striking classic, celebrated for its dazzling appearance and refreshing taste.

Comprising tequila, orange juice, and grenadine, it creates a mesmerising gradient of colours in the glass, from a deep red at the bottom to a sunny orange on top.

The tequila infuses the drink with a robust kick, while the orange juice adds a burst of citrusy freshness. The final touch of grenadine contributes a sweet and fruity layer.

Served over ice, the Tequila Sunrise is often garnished with a cherry and an orange slice, making it both a feast for the eyes and a flavourful delight.

  • 120ml Orange juice, freshly squeezed
