The Tequila Sunrise is said to have been invented in Acapulco in the 1950s as a welcome to paradise cocktail at one of the resorts there. It's a wonderfully vibrant cocktail that looks as great as it tastes. The sweet grenadine masks the kick of tequila so drink them long and slow... and through a straw to get the full effect and a great mingling (with out mixing) of the ingredients.
