Vodka Sunrise


Vodka Sunrise is a cocktail composed of:
  • 3 parts Vodka
  • 6 parts orange juice
  • 1 part Grenadine syrup
How to prepare Vodka Sunrise:
  • Mix Vodka and orange juice in a glass with ice.
  • Add Grenadine syrup. Do not stir. Let the syrup sink to the bottom of the glass.
  • Garnish with lemon and serve.
If it reminds you of the cocktail, Tequila Sunrise, you're right. The preparation is the same as Tequila Sunrise, but Vodka is used instead of Tequila.

Ergo, if you use Tequila, then it's called Tequila Sunrise. If you use Vodka, then it's Vodka Sunrise. :p

Either case, it is a delicious drink.

Do you know why it's called Tequila (or Vodka) Sunrise? It is because of the Grenadine which settles at the bottom of the glass. The color combination resembles that of a sunrise.
