Corona Sunrise Recipe

Corona beer: A light, refreshing Mexican beer that serves as the base for this cocktail.

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

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

Orange juice: Fresh or store-bought juice that adds a citrusy note to the drink.

Lime: A slice of lime used for garnish, adding a touch of freshness and visual appeal.

When adding the tequila to the corona beer, tilt the bottle slightly to prevent too much foam from forming. This will help maintain the carbonation and ensure a smoother blend of flavors.

• corona beer - Substitute with gluten-free beer: To maintain the gluten-free requirement, use a gluten-free beer that has a similar light and refreshing profile.

• tequila - Substitute with mezcal: Mezcal provides a smoky flavor that complements the other ingredients while still being gluten-free.

• grenadine - Substitute with pomegranate juice: Pomegranate juice offers a similar sweet and tart flavor without any gluten-containing additives.

• orange juice - Substitute with freshly squeezed orange juice: Freshly squeezed juice ensures no gluten-containing preservatives or additives are included.

• lime - Substitute with lemon: Lemon can be used as a garnish and provides a similar citrusy note.

• Ensure the corona beer is tightly sealed. If you have any leftover Corona Sunrise, transfer it to an airtight container to maintain its fizz and flavor.
• Store the prepared Corona Sunrise in the refrigerator. It should be consumed within 24 hours for the best taste and quality.
• If you plan to store the tequila separately, keep it in a cool, dark place. This will preserve its robust flavor and prevent it from degrading.
• Grenadine and orange juice should be refrigerated after opening. Ensure they are stored in their original containers or transferred to airtight bottles.
• For the lime slices, wrap them in a damp paper towel and place them in a resealable plastic bag. Store in the refrigerator's crisper drawer to keep them fresh and juicy.
• Avoid freezing the Corona Sunrise as the carbonation from the beer may cause the container to burst. Additionally, freezing can alter the texture and flavor of the drink.
• If you must freeze any components, consider freezing the orange juice in ice cube trays. This way, you can add them directly to the drink without diluting it.
• When ready to enjoy, simply combine the stored ingredients as per the original recipe, ensuring each component is chilled for a refreshing experience.

• Pour the Corona Sunrise into a glass or pitcher.
• Place the glass or pitcher in the refrigerator to chill for about 10-15 minutes.
• If you prefer a quicker method, add a few ice cubes to the glass or pitcher to cool it down instantly.
• Stir gently to mix the ingredients again, ensuring the tequila, grenadine, and orange juice are evenly distributed.
• Garnish with a fresh slice of lime to enhance the flavor before serving.

• Bottle opener: To open the corona beer bottle easily and safely.

• Shot glass: To measure out the correct amount of tequila for the recipe.

• Measuring spoons: To measure the splashes of grenadine and orange juice accurately.

• Lime knife: To slice the lime for garnish.

• Cutting board: To provide a safe surface for slicing the lime.

• Straw: Optional, but can be used for sipping the drink more comfortably.

Prepare ingredients in advance: Have all your tequila, grenadine, and orange juice ready before starting. This will make the process smoother.

Use a measuring shot glass: Measure your tequila and grenadine with a shot glass to ensure consistency and save time.

Pre-slice lime: Slice your lime garnish ahead of time to avoid interruptions while making the drink.

Chill your beer: Make sure your corona beer is already chilled to enhance the refreshing taste of the corona sunrise.
