Tequila Sunrise

I can’t remember the last time I actually saw a sunrise. That might be a little embarrassing to admit; I’m definitely a night owl who enjoys sleeping in when I can. This, however, is a sunrise I can get behind.

Tequila sunrises are one of my favorite drinks. They’re simple(only 3 ingredients!), delicious, and you can tell yourself they’re healthy because they have juice in them instead of soda. They’re also just a lot of fun to look at; I never get tired of pouring these for myself and friends.

It’s hard to mess this one up. Just pour with a steady hand and be sure not to stir. If you want to ad a little twist, squeeze a lime wedge in with the tequila for each glass.
