- For the sunrise look, drizzle a little extra grenadine over the slush in the glass so it sinks through.
About the Tequila Sunrise Slush
The modern Tequila Sunrise was created at the Trident in Sausalito in the early 1970s and spread after the Rolling Stones took it on their 1972 tour. Mixed into the slush, the grenadine turns it sunset pink.
