Tanqueray Sunrise Cocktail
The Gin Sunrise cocktail is a vibrant, citrus-forward beverage that is a take on the original but with a botanical twist. Using Tanqueray No. 10 Gin as its base, it adds a crisp, juniper-driven backbone to an otherwise fruity affair - traditionally served in a highball or Collins glass with lots of ice to maintain its vivid, layered appearance.

- 90mL fresh orange juice
- 10mL grenadine syrup
- for garnish Orange slice
- for serving Ice cubes
Method
- Step 1
Fill a tall glass with ice to keep the drink chilled without diluting too rapidly.
- Step 2
To preserve the vivid, natural citrus flavour, pour in the gin first followed by fresh orange juice.
- Step 3
To produce the sunrise gradient, slowly pour grenadine syrup down the edge of the glass or over the back of a spoon and allow it to settle at the bottom.
- Step 4
Garnish with a fresh orange slice for a citrusy scent and a vibrant, appealing finish.
Tips & Suggestions
Preparation Tip 1
Use pulp-free, freshly squeezed orange juice; any cloudiness or thickness may obscure the visual layering and reduce the gin’s clarity.
Serving Tip 1
Choose a tall, narrow glass to emphasise the sunrise gradient and give the drink a clear, elegant shape that displays its vibrant layers.
