Cinco de Mayo!!!

Hey everyone!!
Happy Cinco de Mayo, or as Elyse likes to call it, "Cinco de Drinko".
Making a cocktail today that brings the sunshine in.
Because it's been raining cats and dogs here for a friggin week.

                                                    Blugh. 
So in honor of Cinco de Mayo, I'm making the classic Tequila Sunrise.
In order to make this drink you will need the following:
-Jar of Cherries
-Orange Juice
-Your brand choice of tequila, (We enjoy Patron Silver here at CUI)
- If you are a punk, and can't handle tequila, you can use your choice of vodka. Plus, you're a pussy.

 yep, thats a tiki shot glass. you can get them at my favorite place, the dollar store. :)

Make sure your glass is clear to get the desired effect.

Then, pour your liquor in the glass.

                                                                  Yum.

Then, add your OJ. Leave some room at the top for cherry syrup.

Oj. Even though you should probably drink apple juice, because OJ might kill you. Then slowly drive a white bronco down the interstate. 

And now, if you are still reading despite my terrible, tasteless jokes, SLOWLY pour cherry syrup into the glass. The syrup is heavier than the orange juice, so it will sink to the bottom.
You know, density n' shit.

                                           Science AND booze. This bitch can't be for real!
As you can see, it's created this lovely effect, that looks like a ...SUNRISE. Whaaaaaat?

Garnish with a cherry and an orange.

                      Let the sunshine in!!! Second best thing for seasonal depression.

So, until it stops freekin raining and raining and raining, I will have to make my own sunshine.
(Like my little sun? Dollar Store. That place is straight amazing.)
This pretty little drink will be a welcome addition to any Cinco de Mayo party, and a nice change from the margaritas, and Coronas. Although I won't judge if you still feel like taking your tequila straight to the face, with a bit of salt and and bite of lime. Like a BAWS.
Make a few of these to go with the mouth watering ribs recipe that Elyse will be posting next!
And remember, it's always ok to Create Under the Influence. :)
