Tequila Sunrise Cocktail Guide: Recipe, Origins & Outfit Pairings

The Tequila Sunrise cocktail is more than just a drink – it’s a symbol of summer, beachside nights, and carefree Mediterranean vibes. At Tequila & Sunrise, this legendary cocktail is also the inspiration behind our name and lifestyle collections.

In this post, we’ll explore the history of the Tequila Sunrise, show you how to make it at home, and share some style inspiration to match its colorful spirit.


The History of the Tequila Sunrise

The Tequila Sunrise first gained fame in the 1970s when it became a go-to cocktail for rockstars and party lovers. Its bright gradient of orange and red – resembling a sunrise – made it iconic not just for taste, but also for aesthetics.

With tequila as its base, the drink embodies a bold yet refreshing personality – the same boldness we channel into our designs at Tequila & Sunrise.


Tequila Sunrise Cocktail Recipe

Want to make this classic drink at home? Here’s the simple recipe:

Ingredients:

  • 50 ml tequila

  • 100 ml orange juice

  • 15 ml grenadine

  • Ice cubes

  • Orange slice & cherry (for garnish)

Method:

  1. Fill a tall glass with ice cubes.

  2. Pour in the tequila, then the orange juice.

  3. Slowly add grenadine – it will sink and create the “sunrise” effect.

  4. Garnish with an orange slice and cherry.

Tip: Serve it on a sunny afternoon with friends, paired with light beachwear for the ultimate summer vibe.
