Ingredients
- 2 oz (60 ml) Tequila
- 4 oz (120 ml) Orange juice
- 1/2 oz (15 ml) Grenadine

Instructions
- Fill a highball glass with ice cubes.
- Pour tequila and orange juice into the glass, leaving room for the grenadine.
- Slowly pour the grenadine into the glass over the back of a spoon or by drizzling it down the side. This technique helps create the sunrise effect by allowing the grenadine to sink to the bottom.
- Let the grenadine settle for a moment before stirring gently, creating a gradient effect resembling a sunrise.
