What Is A Corona Sunrise?
A Corona Sunrise combines tequila, orange juice, grenadine, a dash of mango powder and Corona beer to create a refreshing and fruity cocktail with a delightful hint of bitterness from the beer. It’s easy to make and even more delightful to enjoy.
Key Elements Of This Recipe
- Corona Beer: This classic Mexican beer is light and refreshing
- Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice: So much better if it is freshly squeezed OJ
- Tequila: Any tequila will do, but I’m using 1800 Tequila in this recipe
The Ingredients for Corona Sunrise
- 1 bottle Corona Beer (mini bottles for this recipe, 7 fluid oz)
- 1 oz Orange Juice (Freshly Squeezed)
- 1 Lime Wedge
- 1/2 oz Grenadine Syrup
- 1 oz 1800 Tequila
- 1 teaspoon Mango Powder
The Equipment Needed
- Fruit Juicer
How To Make A Corona Sunrise
First, take a drink of your Corona, until the beer liquid level is just under the top of the Corona label on the bottle.
Next, using your fruit juicer, squeeze out about 2 ounces of fresh orange juice.
Then, into the Corona bottle, carefully pour in the tequila, grenadine syrup and orange juice.
Afterwards, carefully add a dash of Mango powder into the bottle.
Lastly, squeeze your lime wedge into the bottle and then place the wedge inside of the neck of the bottle.
Using your thumb, plug the top of the corona bottle and flip it upside down twice, to gently mix all of the ingredients.
