As the name suggests, the most important thing while preparing Tequila Sunrise is its Sunrise effect. The sunrise effect can be achieved easily by first creating three layers of different ingredients in it. To get the Tequila Sunrise the right way, we use the different ingredients based on their density so it does not mix unevenly.
50 ml Tequila
Take a highball glass and first add Grenadine to it.
20 ml Grenadine
Now fill the glass with lots of ice and add Tequila to it.
Lots of Ice, 50 ml Tequila
Now slowly add Orange juice to fill the glass.
100 ml Orange Juice
Just before serving, to bring the sunrise effect, take the Muddling spoon and gently stir the Grenadine settled at the bottom of the glass.
Do not stir too much or too fast else it will just make the whole cocktail Pinkish or light red in colour and spoil the whole sunrise effect.
Also, add a orange zest just before serving the cocktail.
