The upcoming Christmas and New Years’ celebrations are a little different this time around, a little more special if you ask me. If I’m getting it right, the approaching festivities mark the first time in over two years that we would be able to freely commemorate the holidays together with our friends and family—gone are those zoom and discord get-togethers, it’s time for the real deal. Given the magnitude of the imminent occasion, regardless of whatever diet you’ve been doing, easing it up is forgivable, this just happens once a year anyways.
Luckily PATRÓN Tequila is a versatile drink that would make an excellent pairing choice with any meal served during your upcoming get-togethers. A brand that prides itself on its quality, the tequila is made out of hand-harvested high-quality 100 percent Weber Blue Agave and is distilled at the Hacienda Patrón distillery in Jalisco, Mexico. The result is a drink that can be enjoyed neat or as a base for many craft cocktails. Wrapping up the long but rewarding year, here are some cocktail recipes that you can try at home.
