The Biltmore's Historical Tequila Sunrise
We've kicked off our Summer Cocktails series where we profile fun new summer drinks that hotels are making. Got one we should know about? Send us the recipe with a photo of the drink. Otherwise, enjoy and @reply us when you're wasted!
The last news we heard from the Arizona Biltmore was about the not-in-a-hurry renovations (dates like "sometime before 2020" were getting tossed around) so we're happy to have something more concrete to report: the Biltmore's got a special summer cocktail, and it's a classic.
Something we didn't know is that the Tequila Sunrise was apparently invented at the Biltmore, back in the 1940s when a frequent guest asked the bartender to make him up a refreshing drink to sip by the pool. So to help celebrate the Biltmore's 80th anniversary this year, they've brought their classic cocktail back to life for the summer. Of course, the price is a little more than that first guest paid back in the 1940s – these days you can get a Biltmore Original Tequila Sunrise for $14.
So if you were thinking of waiting until the renos were done before you made a visit to the Arizona Biltmore, we're advising against that – get back there this summer instead for your original tequila sunrise. Drink a few and you won't even notice how badly the resort needs that renovation, plus you can still get rooms with rates as low as $109 a night.
Biltmore Original Tequila Sunrise:
· 1 1/4 oz. Premium Tequila
· 3/4 oz. Créme de Cassis
· Fresh Lime
· Soda Water
Fill glass with cracked ice. Add tequila, Créme de Cassis and a squeeze of lime. Fill with soda. Garnish with fresh lime wheel.
