I can’t admit to be a big drinker of tequila, however, should I look to drink tequila, then a tequila sunrise is my choice of cocktail. Ok, so what is a tequila sunrise? A tequila sunrise in its most basic form is a shot of tequila, orange juice and a splash of grenadine. Firstly, the tequila, the alcoholic portion of the drink is the critical ingredient.
I started drinking my tequila sunrise with El Toro tequila, pretty much the most basic and arguably the worst tequila on the market. For me, El Toro is akin to methylated spirits, I reckon this could have been used as a propellant on the space shuttle to assist the solid fuel boosters. The orange juice for me is the critical ingredient, clearly 100% orange juice is required, no scrimping on the major component of the cocktail. 100% orange juice is the key to offsetting and enhancing the tequila – these days I prefer brown tequila.
