The modern Tequila Sunrise, famous for its layered colors resembling a sunrise, was created by Bobby Lozoff and Billy Rice at the Trident bar in Sausalito, California, in the early 1970s. The drink became a legend when the Rolling Stones visited the bar during their 1972 tour. Mick Jagger reportedly loved the drink so much that the band began ordering it across the country, leading it to be dubbed the 'Tequila Sunrise Tour.' The visual effect is achieved by pouring orange juice and tequila over ice, then slowly adding grenadine. Because grenadine is denser than the other ingredients, it sinks to the bottom, creating a gradient from red to orange to yellow. This simplicity and stunning visual appeal made it a staple of 1970s cocktail culture.
