Instructions

To craft a Tequila Sunrise, start by filling a glass with ice and pouring in the tequila. Next, gently pour the orange juice over the back of a spoon to create a clear separation between the two liquids, forming the sunrise gradient. The final touch involves adding a dash of grenadine, which will slowly sink and create the captivating layered effect. As you sip, the flavors blend harmoniously, with the tequila's warmth and the orange juice's freshness harmonizing against the sweetness of the grenadine.
