Ingredients

  • Ice
  • 2 ounces blanco tequila
  • 4 ounces orange juice
  • ½ ounce grenadine
  • Orange garnish
  • Maraschino cherry garnish

  • Fill the glass with ice.
  • Pour the tequila over the ice.
  • Add the orange juice.
  • Top with the grenadine.
  • Add orange and maraschino cherry garnishes.

Notes

  1. If this is too sweet for you, add a dash of lemon or lime juice. 
  2. Don't make this drink ahead of time as it's best enjoyed right when made.
  3. To help keep your layers separate, pour the grenadine down the side of the glass or over a spoon.
  4. You can use various tequilas we use a Blanco for this one, see some of my suggestions above.
  5. Easily double or triple this recipe to serve more people, or make the orange juice and tequila mixture in a pitcher and let others create their own drinks.
