Orango Mango Tequila Sunrise

An Orange Mango Tequila Sunrise is just the cocktail you need for a day by the water. Stop by the lake and learn how to make a tequila sunrise fit for a queen!

Happy Tequila Thursday! Do you think it’s okay if I officially make this my new theme for Thursdays? I mean come on, there’s nothing better than sipping on a delicious Orange Mango Tequila Sunrise and staring at the beautiful lake view to pass the time away.

Unless your preference is a strawberry margarita, in which case I wouldn’t be mad at you!

If you can’t tell, I have a fondness for tequila. It’s hands down my favorite liquor of choice. I love it in all its different forms too. Single shots with an orange wedge. Mixed cocktails. If you tell me something has tequila in it, I’ll most definitely give it a try!

Personally, I think tequila gets a bad wrap. It seems to be the most common liquor that people blame all their poor drunken decisions on. And while I know some people who that might be true for, it’s definitely not the case for me. Give me a little tequila and I’m the happiest girl around. Add some good music to the mix and I’ll pretty much dance the night away. 

Don’t you want to hang out with Tequila Tiffany?! She’s a real party animal…

The number one thing I have learned about tequila over the past few years is that the quality of what you’re drinking matters! You’ll pretty much always find me paying the upcharge for Patrón Silver to add to any of my cocktails when I’m out and about. 

At home, we always have a bottle of Patrón Silver in the freezer ready to go. Don Julio tequila is another great option that we sometimes keep in the house. Oh, and Patrón XO Cafe is a coffee-flavored tequila that’s absolutely AMAZING! 

Side note, Patrick and I won “Best Presentation” at a cocktail competition back in February and our drink included Patrón XO Cafe. It’s delicious, folks.  Maybe I can make that for my next Tequila Thursday?!

Let’s get back on point, Tiffany. The bottom line, and my two cents for what it is worth, spring the extra buck or two for the better quality tequila. It goes down much smoother and the morning after isn’t followed with a massive hangover. 

My guess is cheap tequila is what causes all the drinking drama we hear so much about!

If you’re new to drinking tequila, starting off with a straight shot of it might not be the best introduction. I highly suggest easing yourself into it with something like a margarita or this orange mango tequila sunrise. You’ll still get that full shot of tequila but it will be accompanied with some other delicious flavors.  

So let’s talk about this cocktail for a second. One of the best things about this drink is the fact that it literally has three ingredients: tequila, grenadine, and orange mango juice. If you wanted to, you could be extra fancy and garnish it with an orange slice or cherry but it’s totally not necessary.

The name, tequila sunrise, comes from the layering effect that happens between the different liquids in this cocktail. The grenadine sinks way down to the bottom while the orange mango juice and tequila float at the top giving it a “sunrise look”. 

It’s almost too pretty to drink…Almost!

And you want to know what else is fun?! If you have kids at home or aren’t much of a drinker yourself, you can simply make this drink without the tequila. You’ll still get the same “sunrise look” minus the alcohol! Pretty awesome, right? 

Orange Mango Tequila Sunrise

¾ cup of Orange Mango Juice (I used Simply Orange brand), 1 ½ oz or 3 tablespoons of tequila, ¾ oz. or 1 ½ tablespoons of grenadine, cherries or orange slices as an optional garnish

Fill your glass with ice and set it aside.

I used a measuring cup and added my ¾ cup of orange mango juice inside. 

To the measuring cup, I added my 1 ½ oz. tequila and gave it a stir. 

Pour your tequila and orange mango juice into your glass.

Slowly pour the ¾ oz. of grenadine into the glass over the back of a spoon or by drizzling it down the side of the glass, allowing it to settle at the bottom.

Feel free to garnish with an orange slice and maraschino cherry.

Enjoy!

And there you have it. A simple and delicious Orange Mango Tequila Sunrise! I hope you throw all those bad stigmas about tequila in the garbage once and for all and give this easy cocktail a try.

For my tequila lovers out there, check out these awesome tequila-inspired items I found on Etsy. How fun are these?! I see a few of these finding their way to my home in the near future.

On a different note, what’s for dinner in your house tonight? I’m racking my brain trying to think of something. Help!!🤣

Can you spot the pink in this photo?! It’s hard to believe that Valentine’s Day is one month from today. Starting tomorrow, my feed is going to be taken over by hearts, pink, and all things love. For today, I’m just giving you a little tease. I purposely took this picture with my back to my mantle because it’s about to get a Valentine’s Day update and I want it to be a surprise.🥰
.
Anyone else feeling the itch to decorate for The Day of Love?!?!❤️❤️❤️

“Memories at the lake last a lifetime”...i.e. Like when Zach recently went to put the cover on the boat and his phone fell out of his pocket into the water. Or when Patrick thought he was hitting the brake on his friend’s jet ski and it took off like a 🚀 causing chaos. Or when we almost sank our pontoon in the middle of the lake.🤣🤣🤣
.
Lake life is amazing but isn’t always perfect. Any funny bloopers you have of you or your family at the lake, beach, or even the pool? Our family can’t be the only ones...can we??!!🤔

What’s your favorite day of the week? If I had to pick one I’d say it’s WEDNESDAY. Wednesdays in the Hernandez household are designated as family days...no ifs, ands, or buts about it.😉
.
With Patrick working crazy hours, Wednesdays are actually the only consistent day of the week for the three of us to be together.  We do our best to take advantage of it as much as we can! Sometimes we have big plans, but more often we just hang out doing errands together and maybe grab lunch or dinner at a restaurant. It’s most definitely more about the time spent for us than finding something epic to do each and every Wednesday.❤️
.
Today’s activities included hair cuts for the guys, a comic book run for Zach, lunch, a trip to Aldi’s, and some sunset lake portraits. The perfect day! Swipe if you want to see the “real” Hernandez clan acting like the crazy family we are during our lake portraits!🤪
.
If you don’t do so already, I encourage you to join me in being more intentional with spending time with your family. Pick a day or time that works for everyone and commit to you all just being together. I can assure you it will quickly become your favorite day of the week too!🥰
