Steps

  1. 1
    Fill a tall glass with ice.
  2. 2
    Pour in the tequila and orange juice and stir briefly to combine.
  3. 3
    Now pour the grenadine slowly down the inside of the glass without stirring.
  4. 4
    Because grenadine is denser than juice it sinks to the bottom and bleeds upwards, creating the sunrise. Stirring at this point destroys the whole point of the drink.
  5. 5
    Garnish with an orange slice and a cherry.
  6. 6
    Serve with a straw and let the drinker mix it themselves.
