Happy National Tequila Day!

Celebrate with this twist on the Tequila Sunrise from Cornish chef & food entrepreneur James Strawbridge, packed with healthy ingredients and half the sugar content of the traditional cocktail.

“Tequila is the spirit of 2017 – this summer’s hottest drink is the Tequila Sunrise. To give it that healthy kick, I’ve added kale into the mix – a nutritional powerhouse packed with antioxidants.”

CLARK’S TEQUILA SUNRISE

INGREDIENTS

• 60ml Cazcabel Blanco tequila
• 1 tsp Clarks It Carob Syrup
• 50ml orange juice
• 100ml fresh kale juice – blend baby kale with a little water in a blender and strain
• 15ml grenadine
• Glass of ice cubes
• 1 red chilli

METHOD

• Fill up glass with ice and add tequila and Clarks Carob Syrup.
• Add the orange juice and stir thoroughly. Then top with kale juice.
• Pour the grenadine down the side of the glass so that it settles at the bottom and appears like a sunrise. Ideally some clear colour layers blending from red, orange, yellow to green hues.
• Garnish with a kale leaf and red chilli ring on the rim.
