Simple yet spectacular and perfect for any occasion that calls for a splash of fun and flavor. Try making a Strawberry Tequila Sunrise.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 ounces Tequila
- 3 ounces Orange Juice
- 1 ounce Strawberry Puree
- Strawberry slices and Orange slice for garnish optional
Instructions
- Prepare the Glass:
- Fill a highball glass with ice cubes to chill
- Mix the Drink:
- Combine the tequila and orange juice in a cocktail shaker
- Add a handful of ice cubes
- Shake well to mix and chill the liquids
- Layer the Strawberry Puree:
- Pour the strawberry puree slowly over the back of a spoon directly into the glass of mixed tequila and orange juice. The goal is to create a layering effect, with the strawberry puree settling at the bottom. This will create the beautiful sunrise effect as it slowly blends with the orange juice.

- Garnish with a slice of strawberry on the rim of the glass and an orange slice if desired
- Serve immediately and enjoy the visual delight as the colors blend, resembling a sunrise
Notes
Pro Tips
- Use chilled ingredients so the ice melts more slowly and the layers stay distinct.
- Pour the strawberry puree slowly over the back of a spoon for the best sunrise effect.
- Choose ripe strawberries if making homemade puree for the brightest flavor and color.
