Combine the tequila and orange juice into a large glass with ice. Then slowly add the grenadine so it sinks to the bottom and DO NOT STIR (the drink needs to resemble some form of a sunrise). Garnish with maraschino cherries, orange slices and bring it to a completion with a paper umbrella.

All, if not most, of these drink ingredients can be found at your local liquor store. Keep in mind that the summer heat is unforgiving and you need to make sure to drink plenty of water to keep hydrated and cool. Townsquare Media and KIXS 108 do not condone underage drinking and encourage you to drink responsibly. Have a safe and fun weekend!
