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.

GO WITH QUALITY TEQUILA FOR A CLASSIC TEQUILA SUNRISE

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

This drink is perfect for serving poolside, too.
