Tequila Sunrise

2 Ounces Tequila
Orange Juice
2 Dashes Grenadine

Pour tequila over ice in a glass and fill with orange juice.  The size of the glass depends on how much juice you use.  The recipe calls for a highball glass but who really has a certain glass called for in every beverage?  Add the grenadine by tilting the glass a little and pouring down the side of the glass.  The grenadine will settle down at the bottom of the glass and then slowly rise up (ie - why this is called a tequila sunrise).  It looks cool and I will totally take a picture next time I make this (it tastes yummy too). 

Frozen Margarita

2 Tablespoons Salt or Sugar
1 Lime Wedge
3 Ounces Tequila
1 Ounce Triple Sec
2 Ounces Lime Juice
1 Cup Crushed Ice

Prepare the glass with salt or sugar depending on what type of margarita you are making.  Put all the remaining ingredients into a blender and blend well.  Pour into the prepared glass and enjoy.  If you like you can add any kind of fruit to this, I personally prefer strawberries and a dash of Grenadine.  This is great for parties because you can make a lot and not worry about what you are making or cleaning (unless someone is allergic to a certain type of fruit). 

The Classic Margarita

1 1/2 Ounce Tequila
1 Ounce Triple Sec or Orange Liquor
1 Ounce Lemon Juice
1 Ounce Lime Juice

In a cocktail shaker shake the ingredients with ice until froth forms.  Strain the mixture into a prepared glass (can put sugar or salt depending on margarita type).  If you mix fruit with this you might want sugar.

Sorry no picture, I have a bunch of good recipes for drinks but I am not gonna make them all to get a picture because I don't feel like being drunk, well not right now.  When I do make any of these drinks I will put in pictures!!!
