The tequila sunrise and the margarita come together in this frozen drink recipe that's bursting with citrus notes and a refreshing tang. Ingredients:
margarita or coarse sea salt, for rimming glass |
1 lime wedge, for rimming glass |
1/2 cup frozen orange juice concentrate |
1 1/2 cups orange juice |
3/4 cup (6 ounces) tequila |
2 tablespoons (1 ounce) cointreau or triple sec |
2 tablespoons lime juice |
3 cups crushed ice |
1/4 cup grenadine |
4 orange slices |
4 maraschino cherries |
Directions:
1. 1. Spread a layer of salt in a shallow dish. Run lime wedge around the rims of 4 highball glasses to moisten; dip rims in salt.
2. 2. Place orange juice concentrate, orange juice, tequila, Cointreau, and lime juice in a blender. Add ice and pulse until smooth. Divide margarita evenly among glasses.
3. 3. Tilt glasses and pour 1 tablespoon grenadine down the side of each drink; grenadine will sink to the bottom and create a sunset effect. Garnish with orange slices and maraschino cherries and serve.
4. Bartender's Note: The straight sides of highball glasses are ideal for achieving the sunrise effect. Traditional margarita glasses won't work if you want this look.
