The Patrón Paloma is a cocktail as delicious as it is simple. It features Patrón Tequila and the bittersweet flavors of grapefruit, making it a quick pick for bartenders looking for something crisp and easy. The Patrón Paloma is easily adjusted to incorporate local or seasonal ingredients to tailor this classic quencher for every season.

We asked our Patrón Brand Ambassadors to create twists on the Paloma inspired by the cities they call home. Each of these recipes features an ingredient or two that are regional or seasonal to where they live, and represent their region and the flavors associated with it. Some of them muddle in fresh ingredients just now appearing in their farmer’s markets, while others feature ingredients that make them think of home year round.

Check out what our Brand Ambassadors crafted below. While you read along or enjoy one of their creations, think about what ingredients you would use to showcase the true flavors of the place you call home.

All recipes as listed make 1 cocktail.

The first chapter of Mixología de México kicks off with a focus on chiles. Chiles play an integral role in Mexican cuisine and beverages. Mixología de México will explore that relationship and dive deep into tasting, taxonomy, and use of chiles.

PATRÓN has partnered with Tajín, the world’s most widely known chile limon seasoning, to showcase how chiles can be used in conjunction with tequila and in culinary spaces.
