 Post subject: Tequila Sunrise turbulence? |

How do u make or cause "turbulence" with layers?
Try a couple of straws, or a barspoon.
Or a red Cherry
Why does a barspoon change the "turbulence"?
But it still doesn't layer siting building ontop of the bottom layer like a
B-52 shooter its different than layering
If the Tequila sunrise doesn't layer what would it be called? becaues it not
like the grendaine,Orange juice,tequila layer like a B-52

The Tequila Sunrise is a drink that is too sweet and was created to fit a name rather than a desire to make a good, balanced drink.
If the Tequila Sunrise was to be constructed like a Rum Punch, then it would need to include some sort of sour element (like lime or lemon juice). However, the Tequila Sunrise just contains spirit, sweet and juice. Not balanced at all. A favourite drink for people with a sweet-tooth.
The Tequila Sunrise is just a Tequila and Orange Juice, with Grenadine add to make a Sunrise effect, all so it fits the name of "Tequila Sunrise".
Cheers!

If the drink is too sweet it is considered "unbalanced", if it is too sour then it is also considered "unbalanced". If the drink tastes "just right" (taste-wise) then it is considered to be "balanced".

If the bartender over pours the liquor and makes the drink taste really unbalanced what are some tricks to do to make a unbalaned drink convert to a balanced drink
I tried rolling them back and forth alot like 4 or 6 passes back and forth to help Break up or Open up the over poured liquor to mix alot with the sweet and sour juice |

There is nothing much you can do, just make it again; And make sure you check the recipe. Also, if you are unable to free-pour correctly, then use measures. There is no need to be flash if you are a beginner, you will just look foolish.

No. This is a ridiculous thing to do. Practice your free-pouring at home, and memorise your recipes too. There is no "break up" or "open up", just develop a good memory and good technical skills, then take pride in getting it right the first time.
