How to Make Tequila Stinger

  1. Fill a highball glass with ice.
  2. Gently pour 2 ounces of tequila over the ice.
  3. Slowly add 4 ounces of orange juice, allowing it to layer on top of the tequila.
  4. Carefully add 1/2 ounce of grenadine to the bottom of the glass using the back of a spoon to create a gradient effect. (The grenadine will naturally sink.)
  5. Do not stir!
  6. Garnish with a lime wedge, an orange wedge and a maraschino cherry.
  7. Serve immediately with a straw.
