Tequila Sunrise: A Sunset in a Glass

At BAR, we love colorful drinks almost as much as we love colorful soap. Our Tequila Sunrise-inspired goat milk soap brings the spirit of this iconic cocktail into a collection made for people who enjoy a little fun in their everyday routine.

Prep time: 5 minutes
Servings: 1 cocktail

Ingredients

  • 2 oz tequila blanco

  • 4 oz orange juice

  • ½ oz grenadine

  • Ice

  • Orange slice and maraschino cherry, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Fill a tall highball glass with ice.

  2. Add the tequila and orange juice.

  3. Stir gently to combine.

  4. Slowly pour the grenadine down the inside of the glass. It will sink toward the bottom, creating the signature sunrise effect.

  5. Garnish with an orange slice and a cherry.

  6. Serve without stirring to show off the colorful layers, then mix before drinking if desired.

Bartender's tip: Pour the grenadine slowly for the prettiest gradient. Fresh orange juice gives a brighter flavor, while chilled bottled juice works perfectly well for convenience.

Please enjoy alcoholic beverages responsibly.
