Notes
The Tequila Sunrise was invented in the first half of the 1900's, so it's been around for awhile! However, the original version has changed a lot over the years, and the modern recipe resembles a newer version developed in the 1970's.
The cocktail increased in popularity after it was heavily marketed by Tequila manufacturer Jose Cuervo on the back of its Tequila bottles. Since then it's stood the test of time and remains a very popular drink. And why not? It tastes great!
