The is not much to say about Tequila Sunrise, a gorgeous cocktail that has dominated the scene since the early years of 1900 when it was invented in the wake of the euphoria for the fermented agave juice (yeah, it’s another fancy way to call tequila).

The Tequila Sunrise is a simple, compact cocktail that can be drunk at any time, especially as an aperitif, but also in the evening as after dinner for a dancing night with a bit of Latin flavor.

The name “sunrise” refers to the bright colors of the cocktails that remember the sunrise and are given by mixing to the orange juice some grenadine (red syrup), which slowly descends into the cocktail coloring it as a sky at the dawn.

The poetry of alcohol has no limits… but pay attention to the high alcohol content of this great cocktail. The blend of orange juice and grenadine makes the Tequila Sunrise very refreshing and joyful, but don’t underestimate the power of the sunrise or you could burn yourself.

  • 45 ml tequila
  • 90 ml of freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 15 ml grenadine
