Tequila Sunrise is a popular cocktail made with three main ingredients: tequila, orange juice, and grenadine. The drink is known for its vibrant gradient of colors, resembling a sunrise, which is achieved by carefully layering the grenadine at the bottom. It is typically served in a tall glass over ice and garnished with a slice of orange or a cherry.
The cocktail originated in the 1970s and gained fame through its association with the song "Tequila Sunrise" by the band Eagles. It is often enjoyed in warm weather and is a staple in many bars and restaurants, celebrated for its refreshing taste and visually appealing presentation.
