SI-units
Could someone please state the recipe in SI-units.62.142.46.22 20:55, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi. I'm not sure what SI-units are, unless you mean metric. I have updated the recipe to the International Bartender Association standard format (which is in metric), and corrected the fluid ounces to match the IBA standards. I hope this helps. You may also be interested in the discussion and voting for how we plan to standardize all mixed drink measurements in Wikipedia. It would certainly be helpful to hear what you think. -- Willscrlt (  T alk | C ntrb  ) 06:07, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, SI is an abbreviation for Systéme international; see Système international d'unités (International System of Units), i.e. the metric system. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 01:59, 16 December 2022 (UTC)

Recipe
Over ice or ice over???? Well, which is it??? In your article you write that the tequila and juice goes into the glass over ice. Then in the description in the column to the right of the page it states the Tequila goes in then the ice. You can't pour tequila over ice if the ice comes after the tequila, can you?

"Pour the tequila and orange juice into glass over ice." "The drink is mixed by pouring in Tequila, ice, then the juice and, lastly, syrup.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.12.162.211 (talk) 23:17, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

How to drink it
How do you drink it? Do you stir it or drink with the straw sucking the syrup first and then the juice?--Energman 16:29, 16 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi. I believe it's a matter of personal taste, but most people probably stir the drink with the straw or just start sipping as-is, depending on if they want the whole drink sweetened or if they want to work down from sour to sweet (sipping from the glass) or work up from sweet to sour (sipping through the straw). I did see a few photos of people drinking this drink, and they were uniformly orange, which makes the stirring the most likely answer. I hope that helps. One of the bartenders at WP:MIX might be able to help you if you ask on the talk page there. -- Willscrlt (  Talk &middot; Cntrb  ) 16:50, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much. I've been stirring the drink whenever I have it but it felt strange to ruin the sunrise--Energman 20:04, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

A variation with sake
I think I found a variation of Tequila Sunrise, see http://japanesefood.about.com/od/sake/r/sakesunrise.htm —Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.75.12.141 (talk) 16:00, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Capitalisation.
The Wikipedian Manual of Style, MOS:CAPS says “only words and phrases that are consistently capitalized in a substantial majority of independent, reliable sources are capitalized in Wikipedia”.

Usage in the current references are mixed, and this Google Ngram indicates a mix.

Do people care? Is it just publication styling? Ping User:JHunterJ? —SmokeyJoe (talk) 11:53, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
 * And "Wikipedia avoids unnecessary capitalization." It seems (to me) that cocktails are consistently uncapitalized (as they are common nouns) outside of specialist references (perhaps analogous with bird names in ornithological references). So it would be in line with old fashioned, screwdriver, martini, margarita, mojito, rum and Coke, Jack and Coke, white Russian, bloody Mary, Manhattan, whiskey sour, Moscow mule, champagne cocktail, etc. And the OED doesn't capitalize it either. -- JHunterJ (talk) 12:24, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

Re. "Tequila Sunset"
I invented [u]a[/u] tequila sunset ca. 2009, and it was a tequila sunrise with red Nyquil instead of creme de cassis. I was drinking mostly dark rum and PBR at the time when I invented it, and have always had a thing for blackberry brandy... but I had a cold, and figured that if I were going to drink nyquil, I may-as-well make a tequila sunrise derivative. Nyquil == sedative -> sunset instead of sunrise. I dunno how it ended-up here, but... the combination of all those things makes me suspect it was added by someone who knew me back then, but not well-enough to get it right. I'm not going to actually edit the page, and I'm sorry for bothering y'all if I'm wrong67.249.81.99 (talk) 13:23, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I have found several independent sources that describe a "Tequila sunset", at least as far back as 2018, although most of them don't seem very high quality, and the reported ingredients seem to vary. If the idea came from you, then others have picked it up since then. The sources I found don't seem to mention Nyquil as an ingredient. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 21:37, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

Requested move 15 December 2022

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion. 

The result of the move request was: Moved to Tequila sunrise. The dab page resides at Tequila Sunrise per WP:SMALLDETAILS. No such user (talk) 10:52, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

Tequila sunrise (cocktail) → Tequila sunrise – I believe the drink is a WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for the meaining of "tequila sunrise", especially with a lowercase 's' in "sunrise". The other topics are mostly derived from that one, and use uppercase for "Sunrise". As for whether the drink name should use lowercase or not, please see Talk:Donkey punch (cocktail), Talk:Long Island iced tea/Archive 1, Talk:Black and tan, Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Capital letters, Talk:Black velvet (cocktail), Talk:List of cocktails, Talk:Bee's knees, Talk:Hanky panky (cocktail), and other recent discussions, which have favored lowercase. It was moved to lowercase in June 2020 following an informal discussion on the article's Talk page.‎ —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 19:23, 15 December 2022 (UTC) The discussion above is closed.

 * Support. This seems pretty obviously the primary topic, with other uses (song titles, etc.) derived from it.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  07:45, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

Plaque photo
I'm confused, did you take the photo of the historical marker? The description says you did, but the exif data says Eric Risberg took the photo and that AP holds the copyright and reserves all rights. GA-RT-22 (talk) 14:08, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

Improper synthesis
We have some improper synthesis introduced in this edit:. Two oddly-placed sources were added. The first is not a good source because it is self published. It says the Rolling Stones threw two private parties at the Trident (which is incorrect, Graham threw the parties) but does not mention Tequila sunrise. The second specifically says there was one party at which the drink was introduced to Mick. It does not mention a second party. These two sources have been improperly synthesized to falsely say that there were two parties at which Mick had the drink. This edit should be reverted. GA-RT-22 (talk) 13:09, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
