Ingredients

  • spirit

    Unaged tequila distilled from blue agave. Bright, vegetal, peppery.

  • fruit

    Fresh-squeezed orange juice — sweeter and rounder than the citrus juices.

  • syrup

    Pomegranate syrup. Real grenadine, not the red stuff.

Method

  1. Build tequila and OJ over ice in a highball.

  2. Slowly pour grenadine — it sinks and creates the gradient.

  3. Do not stir before serving.

  4. Garnish with orange and cherry.

Garnish

  • Orange Peel
  • Maraschino Cherry
