Corona Sunrise Recipe

Corona beer: A light and crisp Mexican beer that serves as the base for this cocktail.

Tequila: A distilled spirit made from the blue agave plant, adding a bold and distinctive flavor.

Orange juice: Provides a fresh and citrusy note to balance the flavors.

Grenadine: A sweet, red syrup made from pomegranates, used to add color and sweetness.

Lime: A fresh citrus fruit used for garnish, adding a zesty touch.

When adding the tequila to the corona beer, tilt the bottle slightly to prevent the liquid from foaming over. This ensures a smooth blend of flavors and keeps the drink from becoming too fizzy.

• corona beer - Substitute with light lager: Any light lager will provide a similar mild and crisp flavor.

• tequila - Substitute with mezcal: Mezcal offers a smoky flavor that can add a unique twist to the drink.

• orange juice - Substitute with pineapple juice: Pineapple juice adds a tropical sweetness that complements the other ingredients.

• grenadine - Substitute with pomegranate juice: Pomegranate juice provides a similar tart and sweet flavor without the added sugar.

• lime - Substitute with lemon: Lemon offers a similar acidic and citrusy note for garnish.

• Ensure the corona beer is stored in a cool, dark place before use. This helps maintain its crisp and refreshing taste.
• Once you've prepared your Corona Sunrise, it's best enjoyed immediately. The fresh flavors of orange juice and grenadine are most vibrant when freshly mixed.
• If you need to store the prepared drink for a short period, place it in the refrigerator. Use a bottle stopper to keep it sealed and consume within 24 hours for the best taste.
• For longer storage, consider preparing the individual components separately. Keep the tequila and grenadine in a cool, dry place, and refrigerate the orange juice.
• If you have leftover lime slices, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can last up to a week and be used for other cocktails or recipes.
• Avoid freezing the Corona Sunrise as the carbonation in the beer can cause the bottle to explode. Instead, chill the ingredients separately and mix them fresh when ready to serve.

• Pour the leftover Corona Sunrise into a glass or pitcher.
• Place the glass or pitcher in the refrigerator to keep it chilled.
• When ready to reheat, pour the Corona Sunrise into a microwave-safe mug.
• Microwave on medium power for 10-15 seconds, just enough to take the chill off without making it too warm.
• Alternatively, you can place the glass or pitcher in a bowl of warm water for a few minutes to gently warm it up.
• Stir gently to mix the flavors before serving.
• Garnish with a fresh lime slice and enjoy!
