Detailed description
Sunset Shelf is a spicy and savory shots built around tequila. It tastes like a toast made under bright lights, with enough swagger for the record-brand angle.
The build centers on 3/4 oz tequila blanco, 1/2 oz orange liqueur, 1/4 oz pineapple juice, and 1/4 oz grenadine. In the glass, orange and pineapple open with a sunset sweetness, then the grenadine drops in a red-fruit depth that gives the tequila a softer landing.
It comes together in 3 minutes and is served in a shot glass. Serve it right after mixing so the salty or spicy finish stays bright and direct.
