Few cocktails are as eye-catching as the Tequila Sunrise, with its signature layers of golden orange and rich red. This version uses LAVA Grenadine Syrup for the perfect pop of color and sweetness, balanced with tequila and fresh orange juice. It’s fruity, refreshing, and as beautiful as the sunrise itself.
