How to mix Tequila Sunrise Cocktail
- 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

- Just before serving, to bring the sunrise effect, take the Muddling spoon and gently stir the Grenadine settled at the bottom of the glass.

Notes
Few considerations while preparing and serving the cocktail -
- It is better to use freshly squeezed Orange juice to get the best flavour.
- It is best to add Grenadine first so it does not leave red streaks in the whole drink.
- While stirring you may see the sunrise effect a bit late so be gentle while stirring. It is not difficult and within a couple of preparations you will be easily able to get a good sunrise effect.
