Give me a simple cocktail featuring tequila or rum. It should be red or sandy-colored.

Cocktail Colin says:

If you're looking for a simple cocktail that's visually striking with shades of red or sandy hues and features tequila or rum, the Tequila Sunrise is an excellent choice. It’s not only straightforward to prepare but also has a beautiful layered look that mimics a sunrise. The combination of tequila (45ml), orange juice (90ml), and grenadine (15ml) in a highball glass creates that classic red-to-orange gradient, making it an eye-catching addition to any gathering.

The Tequila Sunrise scores exceptionally high with a rating of 4.88/5, which speaks volumes about its popularity and taste. This cocktail provides a delightful mix of the crisp, agave flavors of tequila with the sweet, citrusy notes of orange juice. The grenadine adds not only a hint of pomegranate sweetness but also creates the stunning visual effect that gives the cocktail its name. Served cold and typically garnished with an orange slice, it’s perfect for those sunny days or as a vibrant party drink.
