Game Day Entertaining
Raise A Glass
Auburn Sunrise
A fabulous game day party begins with an exceptional cocktail to set the tone for the day. Even better is when it can honor a specific alma mater. An Auburn Sunrise is a refreshing beverage to offer guests when tailgating & it’s quite simple to make. The Essential Guide To Garnishing Game Day Cocktails will have specialty sippers dressed for the occasion or you may follow my tips as outlined below. It’s a lovely drink to offer football fanatics to keep the spirit alive midway through the season.
Auburn Sunrise
makes 1 serving
Style Points
Simple orange curls trail over glass edges to resemble tiger tails. Wrap long strips of rind around drinking straws, secure with straight pins on both ends & let stand about 5 minutes. Make several ahead of time to garnish the cocktails just before serving.
1/2 {12-oz} light beer
2 shot glasses of orange juice
1/2 shot glass of tequila
A splash of cherry juice or grenadine
Garnishes: Maraschino or fresh cherries & orange curls
Combine the first 4 ingredients. Serve over ice. Garnish, if desired.
The Extra Point
A sugar cube or two offers a sweeter beverage. Muddle with a splash of the orange juice before combining the remaining ingredients.

How To Collect Fresh Orange Rind Strips
When beautiful cocktails are desired, so much depends upon a striking garnish. Follow these tips to create lovely color & texture for each glass.
The Technique
Rinse the orange under cool water. Press a channel knife into the surface of the fruit. Simultaneously turn the citrus in a circle while dragging the tool with purpose around the fruit. Try to remove as long of a piece of the peel as you can with each swipe. Use as directed to make curls for cocktail garnishes.
