Tequila Sunrise

Tequila and orange juice form the base of this layered highball. Grenadine is added at the end so it settles toward the bottom, creating the familiar gradient without requiring a separate floating technique.

Active preparation: 4 minutes

Ingredients

• 45 ml Blanco tequila, 100% agave
• 90 ml Fresh orange juice
• 15 ml Grenadine syrup, non-alcoholic
• 1 piece Orange slice or wedge, for garnish

Instructions

1. Fill a highball glass with ice and add the tequila.
2. Pour in the orange juice and stir briefly to combine.
3. Slowly add the grenadine down the inside of the glass; leave it unstirred to retain the gradient.
4. Add an orange slice and serve with a stirrer so the guest can combine the layers.
