3 Next-Level Cocktails For New Year's Eve

Patrón ambassador Alejandro Archibald shakes up the classics - by Anna McCooe
  • 31 Dec 2019
3 Next-Level Cocktails For New Year's Eve

Top mixologist, Alejandro Archibald knows his way around a Margarita – not your hand-in-the-air, spring break movie, brain-freeze inducing sugar water but a legit, elegant aperitif for summer swilling. The recipe is simple; “two parts spirit, one part sour, one part sweet,” he says. “When there’s just a few ingredients there’s nowhere to hide; everything has to be primo for a properMargarita.” As a Patrón ambassador, of course he’s talking about Patrón Silver, which is 100 percent agave (tequila only has to be 51 percent agave to qualify for the name) and handmade using old-school methods for a rounded mouthfeel and smooth finish. Alejandro’s recipe has no sugar syrup just the sweetness of Patrón Citrónge Orange. And, importantly, a salt-rimmed glass. “The salt brings out the sweetness of the liqueur.” Keep them coming.

30ml Fresh lime juice

Combine liquid ingredients in a cocktail shaker and shake vigorously with ice to chill.

60ml Patrón Añejo

Adjust sweetness to taste.
