Inscription. The most famous and most popular version of the Tequila Sunrise was created at the Trident in the early 1970s by bartenders Billy Rice and Bobby Lozoff. In June 1972 the Rolling Stones attended a party at the Trident hosted by Bill Graham. Lozoff served Mick Jagger a Tequila Sunrise and the Stones took the drink on tour, spreading at all around the globe. Later Keith Richards dubbed the ’72 Tour “The Cocaine and Tequila Sunrise Tour.”
