Description
The Virgin Sunrise is the non-alcoholic version of the world-famous Tequila Sunrise. It retains the beautiful appearance of the original, reminiscent of a sunrise, but is suitable for any occasion and all ages. The heavy, red grenadine syrup is carefully poured into the orange juice and sinks to the bottom, creating the iconic color gradient. A simple, sweet, and fruity drink that is always a crowd-pleaser.
Preparation
- Fill a highball glass with ice cubes.
- Pour the orange juice into the glass.
- Slowly pour the grenadine over the back of a spoon or down the side of the glass. It will sink to the bottom.
- Do not stir, to preserve the color gradient.
- Garnish with an orange slice.
