You know how it happens. Spring break, you roll down to TJ (that's Tijuana in case you're not up with the vernacular) and spend one, was it two? long nights throwing back straight shots of tequila, followed by one, was it two? long days sending that golden liquor right back out of your body. For the next four days you gag at the smell of your own hair and skin, and even your lungs still exude tequila fumes. Yes, it's 12 years later and you still won't touch tequila.
So if you want to watch the magic of a Tequila Sunrise what are you supposed to do?!?! Order a Southern Sunrise instead, my dear Todd. It's the same thing as a Tequila Sunrise, but made with Southern Comfort, because, you know, SoCo is classier and soooo much better for you than tequila.
It's a shot of Southern Comfort, a shot of orange juice, a splash of lemon juice, and grenadine poured slowly down the side of the glass. The grenadine hits the bottom, then rises up red through the SoCo and juices, just like a gorgeous southern sunrise. If you must, garnish with a citrus slice, but I just never seem to have time between mixing and...drinking.

Southern Comfort is just a terrible alcohol. Down there with Yukon Jack. Tequila stands better alone, I think.
