As much as it is probably much better than the original version, this is rather underwhelming. Feels like a Screwdriver with Tequila when it feels like it would be a lot more. I feel like the Agua Caliente Sunrise is still the winner.
Not being a fan of tequila, I recently came across the concept of a limoncello sunrise, using limoncello instead of tequila. I surprised myself by liking it.
Had this with Cinco de Mayo Mexican lunch (more of an American day than one in Mexico). Only difference we made is once the cocktail was done to take a bar spoon and stir at the bottom slowly, This move the red into the bottom of the cocktail and created a more gradual effect of the sunset. It also lessened the sweetness at the bottom of the cocktail.
