Description
Tequila Sunrise is a beautiful tequila cocktail that consists of tequila, orange juice, grenadine and lemon juice. In fact Tequila Sunset would be more appropriate name-wise, because it's an ideal cocktail for sunsets and sunrises or sundowns do look the same.
It's a sweet and faintly acid cocktail with aromatic tequila notes. As the name indicates, the waterfall with grenadine syrup is its characteristic. Fruit decorations, stirring sticks and straws makes the appearance even better, a stylish and eye-catching cocktail. A good choice for people with special appreciation of prettiness.
A cocktail for the warm season. It's best to enjoy Tequila sunrise on the beach or swimming pool, we garantie you will generate a lot of attention.

(or 3 pcs Ice cubes)

Measuring unit
Preparation

Decoration

An orange cherry skewer fits prefectly well with tequila sunrise. For that, cut off a slice of orange and stick it together with a cocktail cherry on top of a bamboo skewer.
2.
Shaking

Now place tequila, lime or lemon juice and orange juice along with 2-3 ice cubes in a cocktail shaker and shake it hard.

Finally, fill half of your glass with cushed ice and strain the mixture into it. Then pour the grenadine syrup over it and lift it gently with a spoon (only one time). Serve it ice cold with the fruit skewer, a stirring stick and a black straw.

Decoration / Serving

Tequila-Sunrise in long-drink and hurricane glasses.
Long-drink and hurricane glasses are most appropiate for Tequila Sunrise. Your clients need a stirring stick to mix the grenadine syrup, black ones are best. It's a "fancy-cocktail" which people expect to be presented in a extraordinary way. Fruit decorations of orange, lemon and cherries as a fruit skewer or on the glass border are ideal as well as palms and umbrellas. There are no limits to the imagination, everybody creates its own artwork. Don't forget to add a black straw.
A good presentation and an adequate environment are as important as the taste of cocktails. Use our decoration tool to test different decorations and glasses.
