But what to drink alongside this feast?<\/p>\n<p>Wine, even sparkly wine, wasn&#8217;t right. Mimosas and bloody marys seemed too breakfast-y. The CGP prefers tequila, but margaritas were too aggressive. And then I thought of a Tequila Sunrise! I googled to confirm my recollection &#8211; three simple ingredients! I was popping over to the store for neutral cooking oil, so it was easy enough to grab some OJ too.<\/p>\n<p>The Tequila Sunrise is a really pretty drink. The secret is grenadine syrup &#8230; I have it on hand to make my lemonade pink. This drink needs to be made by the glass, so not a pitcher candidate, but definitely one to add to your repertoire.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tequila Sunrise<a href=\"http:\/\/www.michellematlack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/2013-09-15-20.36.52.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1014\" alt=\"SAMSUNG\" src=\"http:\/\/www.michellematlack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/2013-09-15-20.36.52-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/strong><br \/>\nServes 1<\/p>\n<p>1\/4 cup tequila<br \/>\n1\/2 cup orange juice<br \/>\n1 tablespoon grenadine syrup<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Fill a rocks or old-fashioned glass with ice.
