This drink, despite its main ingredient, was not invented in Mexico, but rather in Arizona. It became popular because of constant references in pop culture; hit song by groups as diverse as The Eagles and Cypress Hill, a movie with Mel Gibson and Kurt Russell, and a finishing maneuver by popular North American wrestler Konnan. It also doesn’t hurt that it also tastes great.

Tequila Sunrise - Recipe

• 3 oz. Tequila
• Balance Orange Juice
• Splash of Grenadine
• Orange and Cherry Garnish

Fill a pint or highball glass with ice, and pour your tequila, then balance (nearly to the top) with orange juice. Tilt your glass, and pour some grenadine down the side of the glass, then set it upright, so that the grenadine slowly trails down to the bottom of the glass. Garnish with a cherry and slice of orange, then serve. (To make a Tequila Sunset, pour the grenadine at the bottom first, then add the ice, tequila and OJ.)
