Day One Hundred Eight: How To Drink Tequila At Sunrise

When you are at the beach, it's a license to drink frivolous drinks:  Drinks you may not normally be caught dead drinking.  Drinks your waistline would prefer you didn't consume.  Brightly colored drinks...that come with their own accessories.  Like fancy straws.  Or umbrellas.  

So today I made Martha's Tequila Sunrise.  I decided to make these because they look delicious and I figured (read: hoped) it would make a nice photo. It's a simple recipe, assuming you can find all the ingredients and don't spend half your vacation searching the juice aisle for pomegranate juice. 

Ingredients: OJ, Pomegranate juice, tequila.

Pour (strictly adhering to the instructions) and you come up with this looker:

This happens to be an excellent way to use the tequila that's left over from the margaritas you made last night, which you've sworn never to drink again.

And (as my husband pointed out), since it contains orange juice, no one will look askance at you drinking this cocktail in the morning.
