sunset tequila recipe

Orange juice - Just like the classic, this Tequla Sunset is made with orange juice. Freshly squeezed orange juice will yield the best flavor. Grapefruit juice - Freshly squeezed grapefruit juice adds a little bit of bitterness to the cocktail that balances out the sweetness of the orange juice and grenadine really well. Tequila - Blanco or Reposado tequila is what works best in this summer cocktail. Anejo tequila would be too heavy for this cocktail. Grenadine - You can make your own grenadine or use store-bought. I like Liber & Co. grenadine but other brands like Monin are also great. Try to stay away from any syrups made with colors and high fructose corn syrup. Garnishes - Just like a classic tequila sunrise, you can garnish this tequila sunset with a cocktail cherry and a slice of orange. To change things up, I like to garnish it with a small slice of grapefruit to show it's different from the classic
