The Colour Issue is all about using the most vibrant of tones and when it comes to cocktails, I think the classic Tequila Sunrise has to be up there for popping off your screen drinks.
The combination of simple orange juice with the ombre red addition of grenadine has is always been a favourite for tropical holidays. I think though, that this one, is just the ticket for tropical summer weddings and a must make for The Colour Issue.
