Tequila Sunrise

Tequila Sunrise

Tequila Sunrise: a colourful creation with a colourful history.

Named in an Eagles song and a fixture of the 1970s, the Tequila Sunrise has earned its place behind the bar. The first versions used crème de cassis; we're fans of the modern take with orange juice and grenadine.

Ingredients

  • 60 ml (2 oz) Volando Blanco Tequila
  • 30 ml (1 oz) lime juice
  • 15 ml (0.5 oz) grenadine
  • Ice
  • Orange juice
  • Garnish: orange wedge

Instructions

  1. Fill a tall glass with ice.
  2. Pour in Volando Blanco and add lime.
  3. Top with orange juice.
  4. Slowly pour in the grenadine and garnish.
