It’s officially Cinco de Mayo. What better way to celebrate this “holiday” than with cocktails from Patrón! I have 3 recipes that range from savory to tropical to herbal. Each is created by a different mixologist. It’s going to be a great weekend because it’s TGIT and Mother’s Day is but a couple of days away. I will be sharing more cocktails for you to mix up for friends!

Winter in Jalisco Margarita

.75 oz Patrón XO Cafe
.5 oz Patrón Citrónge Orange
.75 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
1 bar spoon (.125 oz) Toasted Sesame Oil
Method:
Pour Patrón Silver over cracked ice in a double old fashioned glass
Top off with an equal measure of the carbonated homemade orange-lime cordial.
Gently stir ingredients to combine.
Garnish with lime and orange wheels studded with a clove.
*Carbonated Homemade Orange-Lime Cordial:
Place the peels of 8 limes and 10 oranges in a bowl along with 4 cups sugar and muddle to release the essential oils.
Cover and let sit for 1 hour.
Meanwhile, juice the limes and oranges.
After 1 hour, add citrus juices, 2.5 oz. Patrón Citrónge Lime and 4 whole cloves and stir to create a syrup. Refrigerate 8-12 hours, then strain and store in fridge.
To carbonate, mix 18.5 ounces of the cordial liquid with 6 oz. water and charge using a soda siphon or whipped cream charger with two six-gram CO2 cartridges.
I would like to thank Patrón for all these great recipes. I will be featuring more cocktails throughout the weekend. Enjoy your Cinco de Mayo and embrace the opportunity to share these recipes with friends!
