stratmanv Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Does anyone have a recipe they can share with me for the purple half of tequila sunrise? I have a customer request for it and I am having trouble with it looking right. I have tried starting with white pearl pwdr, black -grape and violet hi-lite and it does not look right, close but not right. Any ideas. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitbull Baits Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 isn't more on the red side ??? There is 10 different versions at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 There is 10 different versions at least. Exactly. The original Tequila Sunrise color was 3 pours: black back, blue neon center, strawberry (or very light red) bottom. But in looking at Jim's, I'm going with his! Well done!

stratmanv Posted July 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 Nice JIm, thanks. The color in the picture he sent was closer to the Gulp version,which is like another said,"redder". I used yours and he loved the pictures I sent... Going with yours...I have always liked the "purple" version better myself...closer to culprits version of the color. I owe you one dude! Anytime you need a sounding board just ask, I will be glad to help. You have always been willing to lend a hand, I appreciate it buddy.

stratmanv Posted July 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 You know Jim its funny...if you look at my original post I wasn't far off, the version I looked at was a lighter shade and "pearly" looking. I wound up changing yours by adding a smidge of white pearl and 2 drops of LC strawberryand found a happy medium. Will post picture when camera battery isn't screaming "Im dead moron" anymore.

GB GONE Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 (edited) I never have had a request for that "pink-red" tequila sunrise but know what you mean. I figured that you wanted the purple version as you were almost spot on with your try. I guess this is the Culprit version..... I used to be a little hesitant on posting up recipes as it takes a lot of work to get some of them good but this thread is a good example of why I should. I'd love to see the pics of your "happy medium" version. Also LOVE that version Chris referred back to. Old school and catches soooo good. Might have to pour myself some up this weekend!
