Rustan’s recently invited loyal patrons and guests to witness the limited edition Patrón en Lalique: Serie 1 up close. Guests marveled at the extraordinary Serie 1, while sipping on special cocktails that highlighted different variants of Patrón Tequila — Cucumber Sizzle, Mexican Mocha, Siesta Spices, and the Love and Lust. For your next tequila cocktail, take inspiration from the cocktails they created during the event.
CUCUMBER SWIZZLE
Ingredients:
- Tequila Patrón Reposado
- Fresh grapefruit juice
- Fresh cucumber
- Fresh lime
- Fresh honey
Shaken and strained into a coupette rimmed with cinnamon sugar and garnished with a twist of orange peel. The cinnamon sugar balances the tartness of the grapefruit and lime and the orange peel releases oils into the drink and makes it more aromatic.
LOVE AND LUST
Ingredients:
- Tequila Patrón Silver
- Fresh watermelon juice
- Fresh lime
- Fresh black pepper
- Fresh basil leaves
- Simple syrup
Shaken and served in a rock glass with ice and garnished with a watermelon slice. The drink is refreshing, with a slight kick from the black pepper. There are garden notes from the basil and watermelon.
MEXICAN MOCHA
Ingredients:
- Tequila Patrón XO
- Bitter Truth Chocolate Bitters
- Monin Hazelnut Syrup
Stirred and served in a rock glass with ice and garnished with a blue edible flower. It is quite sweet and the perfect dessert drink.
SIESTA SPICES
Ingredients:
- Tequila Patrón Añejo
- Pineapple
- Fresh orange
- Fresh mint leaf
- Fresh ginger
- Fresh lime
- Simple syrup
This was the most sought-after drink of the evening. It was a little spicy because of the ginger, with nice citrus notes from the orange and lime. It will be featured soon in the Patrón Cocktail Laboratory.
