Recipe of the Week – Tequila Sunrise

This cocktail is very pretty with layers of tequila and grenadine.  It is great for a hot a day and the low ration of alcohol to juice makes it perfect for a brunch.  Mothers day perhaps?

Ingredients

• 1 (1.5 fluid ounce) jigger (shot) tequila
• 3/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
• ice cubes
• 1/2 (1.5 fluid ounce) jigger (shot) grenadine syrup
• 1 slice orange, for garnish
• 1 maraschino cherry for garnish

Directions

Stir or shake together tequila and orange juice. Fill a chilled 12 ounce glass with ice cubes; pour in orange juice mixture. Slowly pour in the grenadine, and allow it to settle to the bottom of the glass. Garnish with a slice of orange, and a maraschino cherry.
