- 2. Fill margarita or 8 ounce wine glass with crushed ice.
- 3. Pour tequila and orange juice over ice; then gently stir to blend

- 5. As the heavier grenadine begins to settle to the bottom, it will create streaks that simulate an Acapulco sunrise.
Tips:
- If you don't have grenadine, you can use a mixture of cranberry juice and simple syrup.
- To make the sunrise effect, slowly pour the orange juice over the back of a spoon held over the grenadine.
- If you want a sweeter drink, add more simple syrup to taste.
- Garnish with a maraschino cherry and an orange slice for a festive touch.
- Serve the Acapulco Sunrise immediately after making it, as the grenadine will sink to the bottom over time.
