How to Make a Tequila Sunrise Cocktail

published by paulc488 on Jun 6, 2011

The Tequila Sunrise has to be one of the best known and loved cocktail in the world. Not only is the Tequila Sunrise a great tasting cocktail, it’s also very easy to make. This is my recipe for how to mix a classic tequila sunrise cocktail.

The tequila sunrise cocktail is a true classic and deservedly so, a sure fire hit for any party.  In order to do this cocktail justice you will need to use a premium brand of tequila, personally I would recommend Jose Cuervo Especial.

Ingredients

2 oz of Jose Cuervo Especial Tequila

4 oz of Orange Juice

¾ oz of Grenadine

Lime wedge


Method

Squeeze the lime into a 12oz highball glass and add a generous helping of ice. 

Mix the tequila and orange juice with ice and strain into the glass. 

Pour in the grenadine slowly and allow to settle.

Stir to complete the sunrise and serve.

    The color gradation of this cocktail mimics a sunrise. I guess this is how this cocktail gets its name. Great drink!
