Celebrate + Watch the Olympics with Great Cocktails From Patron + elit Vodka

The 2016 Olympics are on TV and in sports pages and all over the web. I love the thrill of the Games because while I want the US to win medals, I just want to see amazing athletes doing their best- like that Hungarian swimmer whose husband was going crazy in the stands, shouting encouragement to her. The best part… she won the gold!

Celebrate your favorite Olympic sports, athletes (or both) by having friends come over to watch it together! Ask friends to bring an appetizer or snack or two and enjoy your evening by mixing up some cocktails with elit by Stolichnaya Vodka and Patron’s Roca Patron Silver!
