Bright citrus meets smooth tequila in this frozen margarita that actually tastes like fresh orange juice. The grenadine sink creates that sunrise gradient you came for, while the salt rim keeps things sharp. Four servings of pure morning-after redemption.

Ingredients

4 servings

1Margarita or coarse sea salt, for rimming glass
11 lime wedge, for rimming glass
11/2 cup frozen orange juice concentrate
11 1/2 cups orange juice
13/4 cup (6 ounces) tequila
12 tablespoons (1 ounce) Cointreau or triple sec
12 tablespoons lime juice
13 cups crushed ice
11/4 cup grenadine
14 orange slices
14 maraschino cherries

Instructions

1. Spread a layer of salt in a shallow dish. Run lime wedge around the rims of 4 highball glasses to moisten; dip rims in salt.
2. Place orange juice concentrate, orange juice, tequila, Cointreau, and lime juice in a blender. Add ice and pulse until smooth. Divide margarita evenly among glasses.
3. Tilt glasses and pour 1 tablespoon grenadine down the side of each drink; grenadine will sink to the bottom and create a sunset effect. Garnish with orange slices and maraschino cherries and serve.
