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.

1 1/2 oz Jose Cuervo® Reserva de la Familia tequila
1 oz Malibu® coconut rum
3 oz Tropicana® high-pulp orange juice
3 oz Del Monte® pineapple juice
1 oz Chambord® raspberry liqueur

Pour Cuervo tequila over crushed ice in a margarita glass. Add Malibu rum, Tropicana orange juice and Del Monte pineapple juice. Stir briefly, then drizzle the Chambord raspberry liqueur around the edge and into the center of the drink. Garnish by placing a wedge of lime and a wedge of pineapple on the edge of the glass, with a raspberry dangling inbetween into the drink.
