Tequila Sunrise

IBA

Originally conceived in the 1930s but reborn in 1970s California, the Tequila Sunrise became an emblem of the decade's laid-back West Coast culture, famously tied to the Rolling Stones' 1972 American tour. Grenadine sinking through orange juice to settle at the base creates its signature gradient effect, while the flavor remains straightforwardly bright and citrus-driven with the earthy undertone of blanco tequila threading through.
