Eileen's Tips for Success
- If you don't have a jigger, use a shot glass to measure the ingredients.
- Pulp-free orange juice works best unless you love pulp in your orange juice.
- If using large glasses, add about ½ an ounce of grenadine and another 2 ounces of orange juice.
- The best tequila to use is Blanco tequila. Reposado or Anejo tequila also works well in this cocktail.
