Tequila Sunset
"This was a popular drink among my circle of friends in the mid-1970s or so. I had almost forgot about it until I came across it recently when visiting the Drink Swap website. So I thought I would post the recipe here so I wouldn't ever forget about it again. If mixed correctly, the blackberry brandy will slowly settle down through the orange juice layer, which creates uneven or striated colors that are said to resemble a sunset (hence the drink's name)."

I loved this but I forgot to let the brandy settle down and I didnt have a whole lot of it. And Hubby ate the last of the cherries last night before bed. So photo isnt right . But this was nice I will make it again before the Tour finishes just to get a great picture. Plus it tastes great. Made for world tour 8

This site used to be awesome. It was at the top of its game when it was called Recipezaar, but that was many years ago. The site was purchased by Scripps and belly-flopped into mediocrity. A few of the faithful members remained, hoping to wait out the storm of corporate nonsense. But alas, it never got better and just continued on its terminal path to nothingness. So most of the loyal members have vanished and made homes at better recipe sites.
