Hello folks, and a happy Thirsty Thursday to you!
Drink:
Recipe:
2 parts Tequila
Orange Juice
2 dashes Grenadine Syrup
Pour tequila in a highball glass with ice, and top with orange juice. Stir. Add grenadine by tilting glass and pouring grenadine down side by flipping the bottle vertically very quickly. The grenadine should go straight to the bottom and then rise up slowly through the drink. Garnish stirrer, straw and cherry-orange.
Description:
This delightful little beverage delivers on two levels: taste and presentation. Its quite delicious, and if you do it right the sunrise effect makes it look amazing.
Despite the resemblance to a sunrise, I believe this drink is so named because you should drink it first thing in the morning, as part of a well balanced breakfast*.
Also, large amounts of orange juice and anti-oxidant rich pomegranate syrup give this drink the James Harper Anti-Cold/Flu seal of approval.
*actually drinking a tequila sunrise first thing in the morning means you are an alcoholic. Seek help.
Variants:
Tequila Sunset: Exact same recipe, but layer the ingredients backwards. As clever as you might think you are mixing it this way in the evening, most people will just think you fucked up a tequila sunrise.
Astronaut Sunrise: Replace orange juice with Tang. I really cannot understand people's obsession with adding tang to everything under the sun. The stuff is horrible.
Yuuuum.
