Tequila Sunrise
This classic drink is now back with a "real" grenadine! Adding the Pomegranate Grenadine will give this drink a new dimension and as always create a great colorful cocktail.
From brunch to celebrations, this drink knows how to party. The simple ingredients make this recipe attainable for any novice who can find their way into the kitchen. Begin by pouring the tequila into the bottom of your glass. Now add in the orange juice. Once those two have mixed completely, pour in the pomegranate grenadine. Watching the colors sift while the grenadine sinks to the bottom is half the fun. Optional: Try adding ice and a few pomegranate arils for pop and color. Some people like to garnish the side of the glass with citrus like oranges or pineapples. This drink pairs nicely with breakfast type foods like waffles, quiches and sausage. My friends and I enjoyed some homemade biscotti, eggs and sausage with our tequila sunrises just the other day. I love it
with a salad as well.

Pomegranate Iced Tea
Serves 6 Pomegranate Iced Tea
Ingredients:
- 6 black tea bags
- 6 cups water
- 3 cups ice
- 1 bottle of pomegranate grenadine
- mint leaves *optional
- lemon slices *optional
- pineapple chunks *optional
Directions:
Start by making sure you have a big enough container for the iced tea. A large pitcher or gallon jar work perfectly. For porch tea, pour water into the jar and add the tea bags. You can easily do this with green tea too. We tried it and like both! For inside tea, heat the water in a tea kettle or large pot to nearly boiling, then pour in the jar with the tea bags.
Porch tea needs to steep for about 2-4 hours depending on how hot of a day it is. Inside tea can steep for 10 minutes.
Once steeped, remove the tea bags from the water.
Add in the grenadine and ice.
Use your optional add ins.
Serve!
