For the orange tequila layer, pour the orange juice into a small saucepan, sprinkle the gelatin over top, and let sit for two minutes.  Turn the heat on low, stirring constantly for 5 minutes until gelatin is completely dissolved.  Remove from the heat and stir in the tequila.  Allow mixture to cool slightly.  Carefully ladle over the set grenadine layer and refrigerate until fully set.
