The Fantana Sunrise Cocktail, a delightful twist on the classic Tequila Sunrise, is a cocktail that brings a burst of flavor and color to any gathering. Whether you're sipping by the pool or enjoying a relaxing evening at home, this drink is sure to impress your guests with its vibrant appearance and refreshing taste.
The Tequila Sunrise, the predecessor of the Fantana Sunrise, is said to have been created in the 1930s at the Arizona Biltmore Hotel. However, it gained widespread popularity in the 1970s thanks to the Eagles' song "Tequila Sunrise." The Fantana Sunrise, on the other hand, is a newer creation, a playful variation that adds a fruity twist to the original.
Cocktail Details: To make a Fantana Sunrise, you'll need:
- 2 ounces tequila
- Fanta Soda
- 1/2 oz grenadine
- Orange slice and maraschino cherry for garnish
Instructions:
- Fill a highball glass with ice cubes.
- Pour the tequila and followed by Fanta.
- Slowly pour the grenadine into the glass. It should sink to the bottom, creating a beautiful sunrise effect.
- Garnish with an orange slice and a maraschino cherry.
- Stir before drinking to mix the flavors.
They say a Tequila Sunrise is like a beautiful morning: bright, full of promise, and sometimes a little surprising, especially if you have one too many! The Fantana Sunrise takes that concept and adds a playful twist, like finding a unicorn in your backyard—unexpected but delightful.
