It’s National Tequila Day!! Time to celebrate with some of our favorite tequila recipes — and brands.
Patron has a slew of great tequilas and a new product- Patrón Citrónge Mango!
A smooth and refreshing mango taste, Patrón Citrónge Mango is filled with light citrus notes and a hint of pineapple and peach that will elevate any margarita this summer. Patrón Citrónge Mango is crafted from the highest-quality Ataulfo Mangos from the Mexican states – Nayarit & Chiapas. Crystal clear with a natural aroma, the product is excellent for mixing up cocktails or even whipping up a delicious sauce or dessert.
It’s available now in your favorite liquor stores.

The mango liqueur is a fabulous idea. I also like the tea infusion of vermouth…has me thinking about other teas…thanks for some great inspiration.
I am dying to try the mango liqueur. The tea infused vermouth sounds tempting. I would think that a shot of the mango liqueur from Patron would do WONDERS for your mango chutney!
