Tequila Surprise Recipe Information

A man called James Noar created the Tequila Surprise after his former girlfriend told him that the standard Tequila Sunrise was nasty, due to the 'red stuff' in it. He serves it at any party he comes to, and so far, everyone that has tasted has given it five out of five stars. It has a very surprising flavor, and it looks quite spectacular. It blows the standard Tequila Sunrise to oblivion.
