The Tequila Sunrise was invented in the early 1970's by Bobby Lozoff and Billy Rice at the Trident Bar in Sausalinto, California. A member of the Rolling Stones tried it at a party in 1972 and started ordering it at bars across their tour. The tour was later known as the "Cocaine and Tequila Sunrise tour." In 1973, the Eagles wrote the song "Tequila Sunrise." This is an Official IBA Cocktail.
