Add ice to 1 cup glass (fill about ¾ full with ice).
Pour orange juice and tequila into the glass and stir.
Gently pour grenadine down the side of the glass and let it settle to the bottom for a layered appearance.
Garnish with a cherry or orange slice as desired, and serve.
Stir, then enjoy!
Notes
Nutrition calculated without garnish.For a tall cocktail:
Use a large glass or hurricane glass. Add 2 additional ounces of orange juice and ½ ounce grenadine. Follow directions as listed.
For a pitcher:
Add 2 ounces grenadine to the bottom of the pitcher. Add 16 ounces tequila followed with 32 ounces orange juice. Stir. Pour over glasses filled with ice to serve.
For a sweeter cocktail:
Try Sunny D instead of normal orange juice.
For best results:
Use no pulp orange juice (but any orange juice will work).
Stir before enjoying! While the layered colors are beautiful, a lovely blood orange color, for the best flavor stir before drinking.
