Cocktail of the Week: Tequila Sunrise Spritzer

Martha Stewart had a cutesy name for this cocktail when she published it in her magazine. So that it could be served at her Super Bowl party, she called it a Tequila Touchdown. However, when you deconstruct it, it's just a Tequila Sunrise with a top-off of club soda. That said, it's still delicious. Perfect for a unseasonably warm Sunday afternoon on the deck...just like today!

Originally, this was published as a pitcher cocktail. I shifted things around a bit. Here are the directions for two at a time.

Tequila Sunrise Spritzer
Makes two cocktails.

4 ounces orange juice
2 ounces tequila
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon grenadine
6 ounces club soda

Mix first four ingredients together in cocktail shaker. Divide evenly among two ice-filled glasses. Top each glass with 3 ounces of club soda and stir.

Cheers!
