　　The tequila sunrise and the margarita come together in this frozen drink recipe that's bursting with citrus notes and a refreshing tang.

　　

Ingredients

Makes 4 drinks

　　Margarita or coarse sea salt, for rimming glass

　　1 lime wedge, for rimming glass

　　1/2 cup frozen orange juice concentrate

　　1 1/2 cups orange juice

　　3/4 cup (6 ounces) tequila

　　2 tablespoons (1 ounce) Cointreau or triple sec

　　2 tablespoons lime juice

　　3 cups crushed ice

　　1/4 cup grenadine

　　

For Garnish

4 orange slices

　　4 maraschino cherries

　　

Step 1

1. Spread a layer of salt in a shallow dish. Run lime wedge around the rims of 4 highball glasses to moisten; dip rims in salt.

　　

Step 2

2. Place orange juice concentrate, orange juice, tequila, Cointreau, and lime juice in a blender. Add ice and pulse until smooth. Divide margarita evenly among glasses.

　　

Step 3

3. Tilt glasses and pour 1 tablespoon grenadine down the side of each drink; grenadine will sink to the bottom and create a sunset effect. Garnish with orange slices and maraschino cherries and serve.

　　Bartender's Note:

　　The straight sides of highball glasses are ideal for achieving the sunrise effect. Traditional margarita glasses won't work if you want this look.
