For an even more vibrant sunrise effect, try layering the ingredients carefully. Tilt the glass slightly when pouring in the grenadine. Use good-quality orange juice; freshly squeezed is always best for a brighter, more natural flavor. Experiment with different types of tequila to find your preferred taste profile. A reposado tequila will add a hint of oak and complexity.
