Tequila Sunrise

Pour tequila and orange juice into a highball with ice.

Carefully add grenadine to create a sunrise effect.

Do not mix the drink.

Garnish with an orange slice and a cherry.

The Tequila Sunrise cocktail was invented in the 30-40s at the Arizona Biltmore Hotel. Initially, the recipe included blackcurrant liqueur and lime juice. The cocktail got its name (Eng. sunrise - "rise") for its appearance. Dense components (blackcurrant liqueur or pomegranate syrup), settling to the bottom of the glass through a mixture of juice and tequila, create a gradation of colors reminiscent of dawn.
