Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to mix the ingredients and chill the mixture.

In the prepared margarita glass, pour 0.33 oz of grenadine syrup in the bottom.

Add fresh ice to the glass, then gently pour the tequila and citrus mixture on top of the grenadine syrup.

Add orange slices and cherries for garnish.
