Tequila Sunrise

Reposado tequila and orange juice with grenadine sunk to the bottom and a splash of Luxardo on top. The layers are the drink, and a spoon is how you get them.

Makes 1 drink
Two tall Tequila Sunrises going from orange at the top to red at the bottom, against green leaves

Method

  1. Fill a tall glass with ice and add the tequila and orange juice.

  2. Pour the grenadine slowly over the back of a spoon held just above the drink. It is heavier than the juice, so it sinks and sets up the gradient.

  3. Finish with a splash of Luxardo.

Notes from the line

Do not stir. The gradient is the point.
