Tanqueray Sunrise
If you trace back the origin of Tequila Sunrise, it all began back in the 1930s when a brilliant mixologist decided to blend tequila with lime juice, soda, and a dash of crème de cassis to create a mouth-watering concoction that was both fruity and refreshing. The result? A drink with a bold red colour that was sure to catch the eye of anyone who walked by. However, it wasn't until the 1970s that the Tequila Sunrise truly gained international popularity, thanks in part to the Eagles' hit song by the same name. The song's lyrics, combined with the drink's striking visual appeal, Tequila Sunrise found its long-lasting spot on cocktail menus across the globe.

Ingredients
Method
Begin by grabbing a highball glass and filling it with ice. The purpose of using ice in a cocktail is twofold. Firstly, it cools down the drink and makes it more refreshing to drink. Secondly, it dilutes the drink, which can help balance out the flavours.
Next, measure out 50ml of Tanqueray London Dry gin using your measuring cup or jigger. This is an important step because measuring the correct amount of gin will ensure that the cocktail has the perfect balance of flavours.
Now it's time to add the orange juice. Measure out 150ml of fresh orange juice and pour it over the gin. Fresh orange juice is preferred over store-bought juice because it has a more vibrant flavour.
Using your measuring cup or jigger, measure out 10ml of grenadine and add it to the drink. It also gives the drink a vibrant red colour, which is reminiscent of a sunrise.
Finally, garnish the drink with an orange slice. The orange slice adds a touch of freshness to the drink and complements the orange juice used in the recipe. It's also a visually appealing garnish that makes the drink look more appetizing.
