Tequila Sunrise

The Tequila Sunrise is a cocktail so named for the way it looks when it is poured into a glass. It is made with the following ingredients:

If using the egg, break it into a glass making sure to keep the yolk in tact. Stir or shake tequila and orange juice with ice until chilled. Strain into glass. Pour in the grenadine and allow it to settle at the bottom of the glass, creating the 'sunrise' (to prevent mixing it helps to tilt the glass and pour the grenadine down the side). Stir before drinking, if desired.

For a Tequila Sunset, substitute Grenadine with blackberry brandy.

The drink's name was popularized in the 1973 Eagles single Tequila Sunrise and in the 1988 Mel Gibson/Michelle Pfeiffer film, also titled Tequila Sunrise.
