I’ve met a lady who works in a very small but packed stall in a market in Wanneroo, Perth and she told a story of a time she worked in a diner down south of there and on one of his holidays in 1984, she was told by her boss that someone special would be coming and George Harrison strolled in, sat down on his own and ordered 2 Tequilas with lemon and salt, no food or anything and then he said thankyou, goodbye and went on his way.

She also spoke of seeing a picture of him at an event in his later years drinking a similar concoction, so tequila might of been a favourite for George
