Mexican Sunset

Description

Pineapple and peach make the Mexican Sunset openly fruity, with tequila’s agave and amaretto’s almond note adding depth underneath. Grenadine adds a sweeter red-fruit layer and a lime wedge offers a bright squeeze at the rim. Choose it when you want a full, dessert-leaning tropical drink.

Ingredients

60 ml Tequila
30 ml Peach Schnapps
30 ml Amaretto
60 ml Pineapple juice
22.5 ml Grenadine
Ice
1 lime wedge

Equipment needed

Bar Spoon – Used to stir the drink smoothly with ice before serving. Muddler – Useful for gently pressing herbs, fruit or sugar when building the drink.

Instructions

Add the tequila, peach schnapps, amaretto and pineapple juice to a shaker filled with ice.
Shake hard until thoroughly chilled, then strain into a highball glass over fresh ice.
Slowly pour in the grenadine so it settles through the drink and creates a sunset effect.
Garnish with a lime wedge.
