Ingredients
- ice
- 4 ounces orange juice
- 2 ounces gold tequila
- 1/2 ounce grenadine
- orange slices (garnish)
- maraschino cherries (garnish)
Instructions
- Fill a tall glass with ice.
- Pour in orange juice and tequila. Stir to combine. Using a small spoon pour grenadine down the inside of the glass giving it a minute to settle on the bottom. If it completely settles on the bottom gently and slowly stir just once right before serving.
- Garnish with orange slices and cherries.
Notes
- Because of the hint of sweetness Gold Tequila is perfect for this recipe because it is slightly sweet and will complement the fruity flavors.
- Grenadine is available in the liquor aisle of most grocery stores next to the other mixers.
- Pour the grenadine slowly. It is heavier than the orange juice and tequila and it will sink to the bottom in due time.
- Do not stir the cocktail until serving it. At that time it only needs a one time very slow and easy stir to put on a show. Leave the stir stick in the drink and allow your quest to decide if they want completely mix the drink.
- For a change of pace try this beautiful cocktail with grapefruit juice or pineapple juice.
