History of the Tequila Sunrise Cocktail
The Tequila Sunrise, known for its striking layers of orange and red, first dazzled drinkers in the 1970s in California. Its origins trace back to Arizona in the 1930s, but it soared in popularity during the rock 'n' roll era after catching Mick Jagger's eye at a party. He was so taken with the cocktail that the Rolling Stones' 1972 tour was nicknamed the "Cocaine and Tequila Sunrise tour." This endorsement launched the drink into international fame, making it a staple on cocktail menus worldwide as a symbol of vibrant celebrations.
