Spritz, splash and surf your way through summer

The Tequila Sunrise 

No cocktail exudes aesthetic credentials in quite the way this summer classic does. Yet the drink, much like the spirit it's based on, is simplicity itself – tequila, grenadine (a pomegranate-based liqueur) and orange juice. Created in the 1930s, the drink originally used crème de cassis, lime and soda water up until the 1970s, when the present-day libation was reborn. Concocting the vivid layers of colour in the glass, which resemble the summer sunrise, is more than enough to whet the appetite; it's Instagram in a glass.
