For an extra touch of elegance, consider using a blood orange for a richer color and flavor. The key to a perfect sunrise effect is patience. Pour the grenadine slowly and allow it to settle undisturbed. Adjust the amount of tequila to your liking, but remember to maintain the balance of flavors. Experiment with different garnishes, such as a sprig of mint or a cocktail umbrella, to add your personal flair.
