Two classic tequila cocktails come together in a drink that's tangy and sweet, and almost as beautiful as a real sunrise. For this stunning presentation, pour the grenadine into the bottom of your glasses and then carefully pour the tequila mixture on top. Ingredients:
fresh lime wedge (optional) |
margarita salt (optional) |
1/3 cup fresh lime juice |
3 tablespoons orange liqueur |
3 tablespoons orange juice |
2 tablespoons tequila |
1/3 to 1/2 cup powdered sugar |
ice |
3 tablespoons club soda or lemon-lime soft drink |
2 teaspoons grenadine |
Directions:
1. Rub rim of a chilled margarita glass with lime wedge, and dip rim in salt to coat, if desired.
2. Pour lime juice, liqueur, orange juice, tequila, and powdered sugar over ice in a cocktail shaker. Cover with lid, and shake until thoroughly chilled. Strain into prepared glass. Add club soda or lemon-lime soft drink for a little fizz, if desired. Top with grenadine. Serve immediately.
3. *1/3 cup thawed frozen limeade concentrate may be substituted for fresh lime juice. Omit powdered sugar, and proceed with recipe as directed.
4. Note: For testing purposes only, we used Cointreau for orange liqueur and Jose Cuervo Especial for tequila.
