Notes

Pro Tips
  • For a more dramatic sunset effect, pour the grenadine slowly and carefully to ensure it sinks to the bottom.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less grenadine to suit your taste.
  • Serve in a chilled glass to keep the cocktail cool and refreshing for longer.
  • For an extra touch of flavor, consider rimming the glass with sugar before adding the cocktail mixture.

Tasting Notes

The Mexican Sunset is a delightful cocktail that layers fruity and nutty flavors with a smooth tequila base. The Amaretto and Peach Schnapps add a sweet, almond and peachy note, while the pineapple juice brings a tropical sweetness that’s perfectly balanced by the sharpness of silver tequila. The grenadine not only creates a beautiful visual effect but also adds a hint of sweetness at the end of each sip. Garnished with a lime slice and cherries, this cocktail is as visually striking as it is delicious—ideal for any occasion where you want to impress with a stunning and flavorful drink.
