Servings: 1
Ingredients
- Ice cubes
- as needed
- Maraschino cherry
- 1 for garnish
- Orange slice
- 1 for garnish
- Grenadine
- 1 ounce
- Orange juice
- 4 ounces
- Tequila
- 2 ounces
Instructions
- Fill a highball glass with ice cubes.
- Pour the tequila over the ice, ensuring it's evenly distributed.
- Pour in the orange juice and gently stir to combine with the tequila. Avoid disturbing the ice cubes as much as possible to maintain the layered effect.
- Slowly pour the grenadine over the back of a spoon into the glass. This technique allows the grenadine to sink to the bottom, creating a beautiful 'sunset' effect.
- Garnish with a slice of orange on the rim of the glass and drop a maraschino cherry into the drink.
- Serve immediately and watch as the colors blend like a sunset, hence its name.
