Strawberry Pineapple Tequila Sunrise Recipe
Recipe Overview
- Total Time: 10 minutes
- Course: Drink
- Cuisine: Mexican
- Yield: 1 serving
- Calories: ~180 per serving
Ingredients
Here’s what you need to whip up this delightful drink:
- 2 oz Tequila (I like using a good quality silver tequila)
- 4 oz Pineapple Juice
- 1 oz Orange Juice
- 1 oz Strawberry Puree (fresh or store-bought)
- 1/2 oz Grenadine
- Ice cubes
- Strawberries and Pineapple slices (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Glass: Start by filling your favorite cocktail glass with ice cubes. This helps keep your drink cool and refreshing.
- Mix The Base: Pour in the tequila, pineapple juice, and orange juice over the ice. Give it a gentle stir to combine the flavors.
- Add The Strawberry Puree: Slowly add the strawberry puree. It will create a beautiful gradient as it starts to mix with the juices.
- Pour In The Grenadine: For that signature sunrise effect, pour the grenadine gently over the back of a spoon so it slowly sinks and creates layers of color in the glass.
- Garnish And Serve: Garnish with fresh strawberries and a slice of pineapple on the rim. Serve immediately and enjoy the burst of tropical flavors!
Tips And Variations
- Make It Spicy: Add a dash of chili powder or a slice of jalapeño to give your drink a spicy twist.
- Mocktail Version: Skip the tequila for a refreshing, non-alcoholic version that’s perfect for everyone.
- Try Different Fruits: Substitute the strawberry puree with raspberry or mango puree for a new flavor experience.
