Mexican Martini II

Back in Austin, Trudy's has an epic drink called the Mexican Martini. Epic enough such that there's a relatively strict 2/person limit. Luckily, there are multiple Trudy's in town...

Juice of 2 limes
2 oz mezcal
1 oz tequila
1 oz cointreau
1/2 oz cachaca

Serve in a margarita or cocktail glass, rimmed lightly with salt.

Tequila Sunrise

4 parts orange juice
2 parts tequila
1 part grenadine

Pour the tequila and the orange juice into a highball glass with ice cubes, stir.

Slowly pour the grenadine around the inside edge of the glass, it will sink and slowly rise to mix with the other ingredients naturally.

Garnish with the orange slice and cherry.
