Original Tequila Sunrise
Tequila notes shine with delicate berry fruit (and, depending on your ingredients, subtle vanilla) in this delicious 1930s version of the Tequila Sunrise

This is not a sweet cocktail. Flavours are quite subtle. VERY refreshing though. And I love that I can taste the tequila so clearly. I am trying this for the first time on a cool evening but I imagine this would be brilliant on a hot summer afternoon.

I found this outstanding and perfect in a warm afternoon. I hate the overly sweet tequila cocktails. You can taste the tequila. I would agree that you could use reposado if you wanted a stronger tequila taste.
This is very accurate to the drinks I have had in Mexico made for the locals and not the tourist. Cooling and resfeshding which you need in the hot Mexican sun.

Forgot to mention. This is another cocktail that you must use the best quality you can afford. The tastes are pure and one low quality ingredient can ruin this beautifully balanced cocktail.

Overly tart. Adding orange or watermelon juice helps

Underwhelming.

Try doing 1.5 ounces of reposado tequila, 1/2 ounce of a good quality grenadine and cream de cassis or if you don't have cassis use creme de mure, 3/4 of an ounce of lime juice and a drop of angostura bitters and shake it all together and then top with club soda and a pinch of salt or Topo Chico. This variation comes from Anders Erikson and I found it to be delightful.
