What are the ingredients of a Tequila Sunrise?

A Tequila Sunrise is a classic cocktail with just a few simple ingredients:

* Tequila: Typically a reposado or añejo tequila is used for a smoother flavor.

* Orange Juice: Freshly squeezed is best, but store-bought will do.

* Grenadine: This is a sweet, pomegranate-flavored syrup that adds the signature gradient to the drink.

To make a Tequila Sunrise:

1. Fill a tall glass with ice.

2. Add the tequila and orange juice.

3. Carefully pour the grenadine over the back of a spoon to create a gradient. (This creates the “sunrise” effect.)

4. Garnish with an orange slice or a cherry.

Optional: You can also add a splash of club soda or ginger ale for extra fizz.
