The tequila sunrise and the margarita come together in this frozen drink recipe that's bursting with citrus notes and a refreshing tang.

Ingredients

Makes 4 drinks

Margarita or coarse sea salt, for rimming glass
1 lime wedge, for rimming glass
1/2 cup frozen orange juice concentrate
1 1/2 cups orange juice
3/4 cup (6 ounces) tequila
2 tablespoons (1 ounce) Cointreau or triple sec
2 tablespoons lime juice
3 cups crushed ice
1/4 cup grenadine

For Garnish

4 orange slices
4 maraschino cherries

  1. Step 1

    1. Spread a layer of salt in a shallow dish. Run lime wedge around the rims of 4 highball glasses to moisten; dip rims in salt.

    Step 2

    2. Place orange juice concentrate, orange juice, tequila, Cointreau, and lime juice in a blender. Add ice and pulse until smooth. Divide margarita evenly among glasses.

    Step 3

    3. Tilt glasses and pour 1 tablespoon grenadine down the side of each drink; grenadine will sink to the bottom and create a sunset effect. Garnish with orange slices and maraschino cherries and serve.

Bartender's Note:

The straight sides of highball glasses are ideal for achieving the sunrise effect. Traditional margarita glasses won't work if you want this look.

  • I served this to company tonight and everyone LOVED them! Perfect for those who love tart-sweet cocktails and they're especially good on hot summer afternoons. I also liked the fact that it wasn't too strong as I had dinner to put on the table. And it's a very pretty drink.

  • We love Margaritas and Tequila Sunrises, this was a great combination of both. Don't drink too fast or you'll get a brain freeze!!

在夏天一个炽热的日子,没有什么很像sweet, sour, and lightly salty paloma cocktail that comes together in just a moment.
Mojito
For this adaptation of a classic Cuban cocktail, you don't need a muddler. Tear the mint, then stir with lime juice, sugar, white rum, and soda water.
Our Best Gin & Tonic
The best gin and tonic is all in the technique, because the most important ingredient in a G&T is not really the gin, or even the tonic. It’s carbonation.

This punchy sweet-and-sour lemon drop “martini” is best served with a side of gossip at your next happy hour.
