Classic Tequila Sunrise is just that: Classic.

Gorgeous as it is delicious, this drink has stood the test of time, and we just love it.

Tequila is the perfect match for the fresh orange juice and the sweetness of the grenadine.

Every time I order this tasty libation, I can’t help but start singing the classic Eagles song by the same name.

Want to see how easy it is to make this amazing drink?

Watch The Loon whip one of these up for Kris…and then make one (or 2) for yourself and loved one.

 

GO WITH QUALITY TEQUILA FOR A CLASSIC TEQUILA SUNRISE

We love to go with a good quality white (blanco) tequila when making this Classic Tequila Sunrise. Quality always makes a better drink.

This is a nice alternative to a Classic Margarita when you’re serving Mexican food.

This drink is perfect for serving poolside, too.

I think it’s time to pull out that top-notch bottle of tequila, grab some fresh orange juice and grenadine…and make this beautifully delicious cocktail.
