Ingredients
Here's what you'll need to craft this classic:

- Ice cubes
- For garnishing I love using an orange slice and a cherry. 🍒 These add a nice touch to your glass.
Fresh, quality ingredients make a big difference in taste. Choose a good-quality tequila, as it forms the cocktail's base. The grenadine gives it that signature 'sunrise' look, with a sweet finish.
Instructions
Making a Tequila Sunrise is quick and easy.
- Fill your glass with ice cubes, then pour in the tequila.
- Next, add the orange juice slowly. This layering gives the drink its beautiful look. 🍊
- Now, time for the magic. Slowly add the grenadine by letting it sink to the bottom. This creates that stunning sunrise effect.
Give your drink a gentle stir if you'd like. Garnish with an orange slice and cherry for a classic finish. It's that simple!

For a sweeter taste, adjust the amount of grenadine to your liking. This cocktail is great for parties, and it's easy to make in batches. Feel free to get creative with garnishes too. Maybe try a lime twist or leave it simple with just a cherry.
