Tequila Sunrise originated in the 1930s and has since become a staple in cocktail culture. Its name is inspired by the way the grenadine slowly sinks and spreads through the orange juice, resembling a sunrise. This cocktail is perfect for any occasion, whether you're hosting a summer party or enjoying a relaxing evening.
For the best experience, use high-quality ingredients like Casamigo Blanco Tequila and Giffard Grenadine Syrup. The fresh orange juice adds a natural sweetness that complements the tequila's bold flavor, while the grenadine provides a touch of sweetness and a beautiful color contrast.
