03History
1930s — Arizona Biltmore bartender Gene Sulit's original used crème de cassis; the modern orange-juice build standardised post-war.
1973 — the Eagles' 'Tequila Sunrise' and the Rolling Stones' tour riders made it the decade's postcard drink.
Origin contested — the entry keeps verified record and received legend distinct.
