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.

45ml Patrón Silver 

30ml Patrón Citrónge Orange

30ml Fresh lime juice

+ lime wedge for garnish

+ kosher salt 

Method:

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

Strain onto fresh ice in a rocks glass and garnish with a lime wedge.

Optionally, salt half the rim of the glass with kosher salt.

Citrónge Paloma

Sparkling soda and grapefruit juice blend with smooth Patrón Silver and Citrónge Orange for an enhanced take on the classic, citrusy cocktail.

Ingredients: 

15ml Patrón Citrónge Orange

45ml Patrón Silver 

60ml Fresh grapefruit juice

60ml Club soda

1 pinch of sea salt

+ Grapefruit wedge for garnish

Method:

In a cocktail shaker, shake spirits, grapefruit juice and sea salt.

Strain onto fresh ice in a highball glass and top with club soda, stirring gently.

Garnish with a half-wheel slice of fresh grapefruit.

Patrón Añejo Old Fashioned 

Enhance the classic and simple Old Fashioned flavours with sweet, oak-aged Patrón Añejo.

 

Ingredients:

60ml Patrón Añejo 

7.5ml Simple syrup

1 Dash Bitters

Method:

Over a double old-fashioned glass, use a vegetable peeler to take off two strips of orange zest, making sure to express the oil into the glass. Add Patrón Añejo, simple syrup, and bitters.

Add ice—the biggest cubes you can find—and stir.

Adjust sweetness to taste.
