- Slowly pour the grenadine along the rim of the glass without stirring.
- Garnish with an orange slice and a cocktail cherry.

Pro tip: Pour the grenadine very slowly along the rim of the glass without stirring - that way it sinks to the bottom and creates the typical sunrise gradient.
Frequently asked questions
How does the sunrise effect happen?
The heavy, sugary grenadine sinks to the bottom in the lighter orange juice and thus creates the characteristic color gradient from red to orange.
What replaces the tequila?
In the non-alcoholic version the orange juice alone carries the drink, complemented by the fruity sweetness of the grenadine.
Can I use freshly squeezed orange juice?
Definitely, freshly squeezed orange juice makes the Virgin Sunrise especially aromatic and natural in taste.
