Instructions

Prepare the glass

Fill a tall glass with ice.

Pro tip: Use a highball glass for best presentation.

Add tequila and juice

Pour 1 oz of tequila over the ice, followed by 1/2 cup of freshly squeezed orange juice.

Pro tip: Ensure orange juice is pulp-free for a smooth cocktail.

Add the beer

Slowly pour the chilled Corona beer into the glass, allowing it to mix gently with the other ingredients.

Pro tip: Tilt the glass slightly to minimize foam.

Add grenadine

Pour 1 tbsp of grenadine into the cocktail. It will sink and create a sunrise effect.

Pro tip: Use a spoon to guide the grenadine down the side of the glass for a cleaner layer.

Add lime juice

Squeeze the juice of one lime into the drink for added zest.

Pro tip: Roll the lime on the counter before juicing to maximize yield.

Garnish and serve

Garnish with a lime wedge and serve immediately.
