Which drink features tequila and orange juice in a highball, with grenadine added as a sink?

• A. Tequila Sunrise
• B. Cuba Libre
• C. Margarita
• D. Rum and Coke

Answer: (A)

Tequila Sunrise is defined by tequila and orange juice served over ice in a highball glass, with grenadine poured last so it sinks and creates a sunrise gradient. The combination of tequila and orange juice is characteristic, and the grenadine sinking to the bottom is the signature finish that gives the drink its name and look. The other options don’t fit because they either lack tequila with orange juice or use different mixers: a Cuba Libre is rum with cola, a Margarita is tequila with lime juice and triple sec, and a Rum and Coke is rum with cola.
