Labor Day Weekend is so close you can practically see it. The three-day weekend offers a great time to reminisce on adventures of the summer and make plans for the fall ahead. It’s also a great time to relax, cocktail in hand.
Tequila continues to surge in the drinks world and we’re not surprised. The dynamic agave spirit can feature well in all kinds of drinks, from simple Ranch Water recipes to more involved riffs on classic cocktails. It’s a spirit you should have on hand during long holiday weekends.
It’s the kind of spirit built for warm weather, born in arid lands south of the border. It pairs up wonderfully with refreshing citrus and juices and even does well with sparkling wine or a good Bloody Mary mix. A good tequila does a lot of heavy lifting, at least from a mixology standpoint.
The team at PATRÓN reached out to us with a few recipes. We were excited to see a spritz in the mix. It’s a holiday-approved drink you can make with ease at home.
Read on for the full recipe.
