The concept of cocktail originated primarily from the Italian culture. Italians were quite adept with the idea of frozen granita. They created a great blended drink with available juices as lemon and oranges topped with crushed ice. It was a hot favourite for kids till the time people started adding alcohol to it and enjoyed it likewise. In fact, this laid the foundation of several cocktail recipes.
Tequila as a drink has been associated with a famous rite followed right from the traditional days. The scene where you find a man putting some salt in his hand, the intersection point of the bottom of his thumb and wrist to be precise. He licks the salt and gulps the drink from his shot glass and immediately bites on a piece of lime. No doubt it was strong and ladies never favoured it till it was mixed with some sweetening agents. Tequila sunrise emerged as the perfect answer. Now you not only find this drink making a place in barbeques and deck parties, but bars and pubs as well.
Making this frozen cocktail is kind of challenging. So if you are planning to host a weekend party or arranging a get together with close friends, try giving this drink a shot. All you need is a tall glass filled with crushed ice. Pour in two shots of tequila and mix it with orange juice. Adjust your glass a bit by tilting it sideways and add two dashes of grenadine syrup. Grenadine has a property of sinking down and filtering it to the top. It imparts that necessary red to orange tint in your glass. For a more fruity flavour, try adding few chopped pieces of peaches and raspberries. Stirring it properly will help retain the preferred liquid consistency of the cocktail. While garnishing you can definitely go for cherries or top it with an orange or strawberry slice. Add a dash of lime and your refreshing tequila sunrise is ready.
Tequila sunrise is an ideal cocktail for a hot day. Consumed mostly as a brunch cocktail or a sundowner, its popularity is soaring by the day.
