Ingredients
- 2 oz Blanco Tequila
- 1 whole Fresh Strawberries - quartered
- 4 oz Orange Juice

- 2 tbsp Maraschino Cherry Syrup - from a jar of red maraschino cherries

Instructions
- Grab a rocks glass and using a muddler, muddle the quartered fresh strawberry at the bottom of the glass until crushed. Next splash in the tequila, orange juice, and the fresh juice of a wedge of lime (or lemon).
- Stir these first few ingredients together with a bar spoon > then add a scoop of fresh ice to the same rocks glass.
- Next, using the back of a bar spoon or the back of a teaspoon, drizzle the maraschino cherry syrup slowly down the back of the spoon. Do it off to one side of the glass.
- The back of the spoon pressed up against the inside wall of the glass will help the red syrup fall to the bottom of the cup, creating a beautiful ombre effect that resembles the sunrise in your glass.
- To serve, garnish with a slices of fresh orange, lime, or strawberry along with skewered maraschino cherries on a cocktail pick.
- Your guests can use the cocktail pick to stir the cocktail together the rest of the way and enjoy a delicious, simple, vacation inspired tequila cocktail.
