Tequila Sunrise cocktail

Tequila Sunrise Cocktail Recipe

The Tequila Sunrise is a visually striking cocktail known for its layered gradient of colors, resembling a sunrise. Made with tequila, orange juice, and grenadine, the denser grenadine sinks to the bottom, creating a vivid contrast against the citrusy orange layer. Sweet, fruity, and smooth, it gained widespread popularity in the 1970s and remains a favorite for its easy-drinking appeal and eye-catching presentation.
