Number Of Ingredients 11

2 Fresno chiles, seeded and chopped, plus 2 Fresno chiles, halved, unseeded
3 tablespoons grenadine
1 1/2 cups freshly squeezed orange juice
3/4 cup tequila blanco
1/4 cup triple sec
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
2 tablespoons light agave
2 tablespoons orange sanding sugar
