This vibrant, layered drink is a symphony of flavors - the robust tequila, the citrusy burst of orange juice, and the sweet hint of grenadine.

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

  1. Fill a highball glass with ice cubes.
  2. Pour the tequila over the ice, ensuring it's evenly distributed.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Garnish with a slice of orange on the rim of the glass and drop a maraschino cherry into the drink.
  6. Serve immediately and watch as the colors blend like a sunset, hence its name.
