Scale
Ingredients
- 1 bottle of Corona beer (or similar light lager)
- 5 oz tequila
- 3 oz orange juice
- 5 oz grenadine syrup
- A slice of fresh lime
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Prepare the glass: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes to chill the drink and keep it refreshing.
- Pour the beer: Slowly tilt the glass and pour the Corona beer, leaving some space at the top to add the other ingredients without overflowing.
- Add tequila: Gently pour the tequila into the beer, allowing it to mix slightly while maintaining layers.
- Incorporate orange juice: Pour the orange juice into the glass to add sweetness and citrus notes that balance the flavors.
- Layer grenadine: Slowly pour grenadine syrup into the drink; it will sink to the bottom, creating the signature gradient sunrise effect.
- Add lime: Squeeze a fresh lime slice over the drink to introduce a zesty brightness, then drop the slice into the glass for garnish.
- Mix gently: Stir the drink lightly before enjoying, blending the beautiful layers while maintaining the colorful appearance.
Notes
- Use a light lager beer similar to Corona for the best flavor balance.
- Pour ingredients slowly to create the layered sunrise effect.
- Adjust grenadine and orange juice proportions to taste for sweetness.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the visual effect before the layers fully mix.
- Can be garnished with additional lime or a cherry for presentation.
