The Tequila Sunrise is a well-known cocktail with a disputed origin, attributed to either the Biltmore Hotel in the 1930s or the Trident Restaurant's 1970s version. It features a layered appearance, traditionally made with tequila, orange juice, and grenadine, embodying a vibrant sunset look. The drink surged in popularity and became iconic, influencing pop culture, including songs and films. To create the perfect Tequila Sunrise, it’s recommended to choose quality tequilas, particularly silver or blanco, that offer bold flavors to complement the beverage.
"I think a tequila with a bold flavor would stand up the best against the other ingredients, so don't use anything too soft and understated."
"The most popular story is how bartenders Bobby Lazoff and Billy Rice at the Trident Restaurant in California created a more modern version using orange juice and grenadine in the '70s."
