This pretty drink with layers of orange juice and grenadine is delicious on a hot day. The fact that the ratio of juice to tequila is high makes it a good choice for a brunch cocktail.

The classics just never go out of style - I did however use a bit less orange juice. I chilled the glass and used crushed ice - YUM! Read More

I love these, they are great. To make the grenadine hurry up a little bit, I pour mine through a straw. Read More

Great recipe and if you substitute Tequila with Jägermeister it tastes just like cherry fruit stripe gum. Read More
