With Summer in full swing and International Tequila Day (July 24th) fast approaching, it’s the perfect time to take a look at some tequila cocktail recipes. And what better base ingredient to use than Patrón El Cielo?
The ultimate innovation in silver tequila, Patrón El Cielo is the first four times distilled prestige tequila in the world. Made with the highest quality 100% Weber Blue Agave with only 100% natural ingredients, Patrón El Cielo is crafted with the smallest copper pot still at Hacienda Patrón. Often misconceived as a culprit for diluting flavors, the unique distillation process for Patrón El Cielo actually “unlocked” and opened up the natural sweetness and smoothness from the agave. The perfect summer party starter, Patrón El Cielo makes every moment shine bright from day to night.
While Patrón El Cielo can be enjoyed neat or on the rocks, this versatile tequila can also be used as the key ingredient in your favorite, trendy Summer cocktails like a Martini or a Spritz.
