Soutx Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 How do you make tequila sunrise? I cannot find the colorant anywhere. The place that did have a similar color was a bleed colorant. Does it matter bc the other color is a dark purple/black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 Black for the back and for the bottom, try strawberry or a very light red with a touch of blue hi-lite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soutx Posted February 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) The blue hi lite, could you use regular blue colorant or fluorescent blue or does it have to be hi-lite? Edited February 21, 2018 by Soutx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think those others would work because you want it to be an iridescent look. The blue needs to be ever so faint. With the hi-lite, it reflects off the sun and looks really nice in the water. If you've never used hi-lites, you'll be blown away by the effect. Just remember a little goes a long way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McLuvin175 Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 For the back you need Black. For the belly you need a Hi-Lite Blue powder and a transparent red dye like LureWorks Cherry Red 120. Viola, Tequila Sunrise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lure Craft's strawberry worked for me, but cherry red sounds like a winner too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLuvin175 Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 And to boot if you swap the hi-lite blue for pearl white you'll have Red Shad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
