Ingredients
  

For the Drink
  • 1 ounce Grenadine Adds sweetness and a beautiful red hue; substitute with pomegranate syrup for a similar taste.
  • 3 ounces Pineapple Juice Fresh juice is ideal, but bottled juice can be a quick shortcut.
  • 1-2 ounces Tequila Blanco Opt for silver tequila for a milder flavor.
  • 3 ounces Champagne or Prosecco Choose a dry version to balance the sweetness.
For the Garnish
  • 1 slice Orange Peel Can be replaced with a lime peel for a refreshing twist.
  • 1 piece Maraschino Cherry Fresh cherries can enhance the drink's natural flavors.

Equipment

  • tall glass

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Sparkling Tequila Sunrise
  1. Begin by selecting a tall glass and filling it generously with ice cubes.
  2. Carefully pour about an ounce of grenadine over the ice, allowing it to flow gently to the bottom of the glass.
  3. Next, pour in approximately three ounces of pineapple juice over the back of a spoon to maintain separation from the grenadine.
  4. Gently add one to two ounces of tequila Blanco into the glass, pouring it slowly to avoid mixing too much with the pineapple juice.
  5. Slowly pour Champagne or prosecco over the tequila layer to top off your cocktail, filling the glass to the rim.
  6. Lastly, garnish your stunning Sparkling Tequila Sunrise with a twist of orange peel and a maraschino cherry on top.
