Sweet mixed drinks

I like sweet mixed drinks. Most of my friends also like a sweet cocktails. To make a good sweet mixed drink, you need:

Alcohol
Sweet mixer
Tart mixer

What can be called a sweet mixer for a cocktail recipe? Juice is always a good drink mixer, especially orange juice.

Orange juice cocktails

There are lots of sweet mixed drinks that are orange juice cocktails. Some popular ones are:

Screwdriver
Whiskey sour
Tequila sunrise

Orange juice has the right amount of sweet to balance the alcohol. Plus as a bonus orange juice also has a tart to it as well. That is my orange juice cocktails are popular drinks.

Easy mixed drinks

Making easy mixed drinks is also a key to a good cocktail. What are considered easy mixed drinks? For me put everything into a cocktail shaker, shake, and pour into a glass. That is easy mixed drinks.

Tequila sunrise drink

The tequila sunrise drink is an easy cocktail to make. It is just orange juice, tequila, and grenadine. What makes a tequila sunrise drink stand out is you mix the orange juice and tequila together, out into a glass, and then just pour the grenadine on the top.

The effect in the glass of the tequila sunrise drink is the look. It looks like a sunrise, that is why the drink is called tequila sunrise drink.

Tuscan sunrise

Why is the Tuscan sunrise different from the tequila sunrise? It is basically the same only the tequila sunrise has whiskey in the drink as well as the tequila. Plus the Tuscan sunrise is a little sweeter with the addition of pineapple juice.

The combination of the ingredients in the Tuscan sunrise cocktail recipe makes a deeper orange color in the glass once you add the grenadine. The cocktail reminds you of the Tuscan sky.
