Recipe

• 3 parts tequila

• 6 parts orange juice

• 1 part grenadine

Fill a wine glass with ice, add the tequila and orange juice, and finally the grenadine, which will sink to the bottom. Stir so that the grenadine rises and forms a nice gradient, but that never happens so just stir till you make a mess and get fed up and it still looks rubbish. Garnish with an orange slice.

This tasted alright, but I really did have trouble making the gradient effect. As pictured, I ended up pouring more grenadine on top of the orange slice so it might soak in and blend down or something, but no such luck. I pretty much just drank the tequila and orange followed by a massive hit of syrup. Which wasn't too unpleasant actually.

I suspect I should add the ice later, since it makes it quite difficult to stir. Next time, gradient first, then ice.
