It's Cocktail Time !!!

This morning, finally, I received the email that I've been waiting for like a week.
It's an email from Amy Freeland of Copper Diem Blogspot. The email is about Cocktail Hour Blog Hop. You can read what it's all about here.

My cocktail will be Tequila Sunrise [yay! it's not pink!! ;p].

The Tequila Sunrise is a cocktail made in two different ways, the original (tequila, crème de cassis, lime juice and soda water) and the more popular concoction (tequila, orange juice, and grenadine syrup). Originally served at the Arizona Biltmore Hotel, where it was created by Gene Sulit in the 1930s or 1940s,the cocktail is named for the way it looks after it has been poured into a glass. The denser ingredients (cassis or grenadine) settle, creating gradations in color that mimic a sunrise. The more popular version was invented by Bobby Lazoff and Billy Rice at the Trident restaurant in Sausalito California in the early 1970s[taken from Wiki].

One of the recipes that I can find in the net is :

Ingredients

• 1 (1.5 fluid ounce) jigger tequila
• 3/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
• ice cubes
• 1/2 (1.5 fluid ounce) jigger grenadine syrup
• 1 slice orange, for garnish
• 1 maraschino cherry for garnish

Directions

1. Stir or shake together tequila and orange juice. Fill a chilled 12 ounce glass with ice cubes; pour in orange juice mixture. Slowly pour in the grenadine, and allow it to settle to the bottom of the glass (be patient). Garnish with a slice of orange, and a maraschino cherry.

And now the homework is.......
