  1. Put the sugar in a medium saucepan with 100ml (3 1/2fl oz) water and the chilli. Stir over a medium heat to melt the sugar; bring to the boil. Immediately remove from the heat and leave for at least 1 hour to cool and infuse.
  2. Half fill a large serving jug with ice cubes. Add the tequila, orange juice and sugar syrup, removing the chilli. Mix well and leave to chill for 5-10 minutes.
  3. Put an orange slice into 6 highball glasses or tumblers, skin resting against the glass. Strain the sunrise mix into the glasses, then pour over the grenadine syrup. Garnish with a red chilli.
