Being that tequila is our friend, I'm not sure why it took me so long to drink this drink. I think the grenadine scared me into thinking this was a syrupy sweet drink, but really it just adds a little color to this gorgeous tequila sunrise.
Why you'll love this recipe
- It's a great alternative to a traditional Bloody Mary, mimosa or spritz for brunch.
- It's gorgeous. The grenadine gives the cocktail the perfect ombre sunrise color. Who doesn't love that?
- It's easy to keep the ingredients on hand. Just a few simple ingredients are all you need to make these smooth cocktails.
- It's bubbly! Bubbles make everything better and this tequila sunrise mimosa is no exception.
Ingredients
You only need a four ingredients for this tequila sunrise mimosa.
Ingredient Notes
- Tequila: Use a 100% agave blanco tequila for a smooth mimosa.
- Orange juice: Fresh is best for cocktails. Always.
- Prosecco: Keep the small bottles of prosecco around to make just one or two of these mimosas.
- Grenadine: Don't skip this ingredient! The grenadine is what gives the drink its gorgeous ombre color.
Expert Tips
- Use 100% agave tequila. Cheap tequila blends are the recipe for a headache.
- Use a silver tequila for this drink. Blanco tequila is nice and smooth and pairs well with the orange juice. Save your anejo tequila for a nighttime sipper like this tequila old fashioned.
- Add the grenadine last and don't stir it. If you stir the drink once the grenadine has been added you will have a pretty pink drink, not the ombre sunrise you are looking for.
