Can you guess the name of this classic cocktail?

☀️Come stop by after we open at 4pm to give your guess to our bartender! ☀️

This cocktail was on the rise in the 70s and 80s after its earlier iteration in the 1930s was created at the Arizona Biltmore Hotel by Gene Sulit, rumor has it the befuddled bartender made the concoction after staying at the bar drinking with a few friends till the owner walked in at 9am...🤭

The popular modern version of this cocktail was created at a party organized to kick off The Rolling Stones 1972 tour in America, Mick Jagger had one of these cocktails, liked it, and he and his entourage started drinking it; ordering them at bars across America while on tour.

In 1973, the Eagles even recorded a song off their album "Desperado" named after this iconic cocktail 😉

Drop your guesses below! And be sure to try one today if you haven't yet, perfect for a hot day to sip on our patio and eat tacos!

Can you guess what this famous classic cocktail is?

✨️Come stop by today anytime after we open at 2pm to give your guess to the bartender! (No Cheating!) ✨️

First appearing in 1916 in the last cocktail recipe book published before prohibition: "Recipes for Mixed Drinks" by Hugo Ensslin, a German-born bartender who created the drink while working at the Hotel Wallick in NYC.

Known for its sky-blue hue and floral yet sour taste, this cocktail is unique and sometimes hard to find due to a specific liqueur used to achieve its iconic color and taste.

Drop your guesses below! Bonus points if you can guess the entire recipe, here's one last hint...GIN!

And be sure to try it, your taste buds will certainly thank you 😉🩵
