Tequila Sunset Cocktail
Looking for a cocktail that captures golden hour in a glass? Meet the Tequila Sunset—our elevated spin on the classic Tequila Sunrise.
This version swaps sugary grenadine for a bold float of Aperol, giving you all the vibrant color with a more balanced, slightly bitter finish. Paired with smooth tequila and our bright, cold-pressed Margarita Mix, it’s a cocktail that’s as stunning as it is sippable.
Whether you’re hosting a summer dinner or just watching the sun dip behind the horizon, this one’s made for slow pours and great views.
