For a Patron margarita, just make it using Patrón Silver tequila. Here are the ingredients you’ll need:
Patrón Silver tequila Cointreau (or Triple Sec) Lime juice
Make the salt rim. The best salt to use is kosher salt or flaky sea salt (not table salt!). Place it in a single layer on a plate, then cut a notch in a lime wedge. Run the wedge around the glass, then dip the outside rim of the glass in the salt. Shake up the ingredients. Place the Patrón Silver, Cointreau or Triple Sec, and lime juice in a shaker with 4 ice cubes and shake. Strain and garnish. Strain it into the glass and garnish with a few lime wedges.
Patrón tequila is tequila made by the Patrón Spirits Company (as of 2018 by Bacardi). The Patrón brand is manufactured in Jalisco, Mexico and was introduced in 1989. What does Patron tequila taste like? Patron is spicy and sweet at the same time, agave forward with hints of caramel, honey, vanilla, and white pepper on the finish. The flavor is smoother than other types of tequila, and makes a uniquely balanced margarita. Is Patron tequila top shelf? Yes, Patrón is considered a top-shelf tequila. Many tequila connoisseurs prefer craft tequilas that are small batch and have a more interesting flavor. But Patron is a good starter tequila and is great in mixed drinks like the margarita, paloma and tequila sunrise. There are several types of Patron: Patron Silver is the most popular. There’s also many more types like Patrón Añejo (aged 1 to 4 years), Patrón Reposado (aged 2 to 12 months), and the “Gran Patrón” family of luxury tequilas.
