Masshole Fratboy · Tommy "Two Coolers" Sullivan
Tequila Sunrise
A citrusy and sweet tropical built around tequila & mezcal, with the classic proportions and service that make the Tequila Sunrise endure.
“The Tequila Sunrise comes together faster than a two-minute drill, buddy. Ice it down and let's move.”
WHY THIS DRINK WORKS
The Tequila Sunrise works because tequila, orange juice, grenadine meet in deliberate proportion. Keep the method layered, use fresh ice, and give the final garnish enough attention to finish the aroma without distracting from the drink.
