Fill a #highball glass{} with @ice{}.

Pour @tequila{2%oz} and @orange juice{4%oz} into the glass.

Stir gently to combine.

Slowly pour @grenadine syrup{0.5%oz} over the back of a #bar spoon{} so it sinks to the bottom, creating a sunrise effect.

Garnish with an @orange slice{1} and a @maraschino cherry{1}.

-- Note: For the best visual effect, do not stir after adding the grenadine.
