The Tequila Sunrise
Tequila Sunrise is a personal favorite because it tastes and looks great. The grenadine adds a fine sweetness to the orange juice and tequila and becomes more prominent as you get toward the bottom of the glass. The story behind the drink says that it was first served in Cancun and Acapulco in the 50's to welcome tourists but, after a brief surge in 70's discos, it lost much of its limelight.
Ingredients
4 oz orange juice
2 oz tequila
1/2 oz grenadine
orange slice for garnish
maraschino cherry for garnish

  1. With tequila being so popular now maybe these will make a comeback. I know we drank them with cuervo in the 80's.

    THE EAGLES had a hit with song of the same name in 1973..
