Patrón Cocktails & Drink Recipes
Patrón cocktails are all the rage right now – and for good reason.
Not only do they look stunning, but they taste incredible too. Seriously, even tequila haters will want a second sip.
I’m a huge lover of reposado, but the silver Patrón is a terrific mixer with pretty much anything.
Ready to be wowed? Let’s get to it!
1. Ultimate Cadillac Margarita
You won’t be disappointed by this delicious combination of orange liqueur, fresh lime juice, simple syrup, and silver tequila.
Served straight up with a salted rim, it’s classic, clean, and oh-so-crisp. It’s also my go-to drink for any occasion.
With just the right amount of sweet and tart, it packs quite a punch. But don’t worry, it’s nothing you can’t handle.
Ingredients: Patrón Silver, Grand Marnier, Cointreau, lime juice, simple syrup, lime wheels & salt (for the rim)
2. Patron Paloma
Boasting an easy-to-make recipe with just a few simple ingredients, the Patrón Paloma cocktail is quickly becoming the go-to drink of the season.
And from the perfectly balanced flavor profile to the peppy punch of tart grapefruit juice, it’s no surprise.
You haven’t had a real Paloma until you’ve tried this Patrón Paloma!
Ingredients: Patrón Reposado, pink grapefruit juice, lime juice, agave nectar, soda water, sea salt, ice
3. Blood Orange Margaritas
An exceptional mix of sweet and tart, this concoction will make any occasion feel more special.
Sweetened with orange liquor, tequila, and simple syrup, it sounds a lot like a typical marg.
But as you can see from that picture, it also features vibrant blood orange! Use soda or juice for a pleasant zing that’ll make your taste buds dance.
Ingredients: blood orange soda or juice, Patrón Reposado, Grand Marnier, simple syrup, ice, red sugar & blood orange wheels (for garnish)
4. Hibiscus Tequila and Sprite Cocktail
Sweet, sour, and deliciously floral, this tequila cocktail serves as a unique alternative to the traditional margarita.
It’s still plenty fresh with a kick of tart flavors, but there’s a layer of fruity sweetness from the hibiscus tea.
Oh, and how pretty is that color? That’s down to the tea too!
Ingredients: hibiscus tea, Patrón Silver, lime juice, simple syrup, lemon-lime soda, crushed ice, lime wheels & edible flowers (for garnish)
5. Mumbai Margarita
The Mumbai Margarita is an exotic twist on the OG drink we all know and love.
You’ll need a mixture of two different Patrón varieties, plus mango puree and fresh lime juice.
Together, it’s like you’ve been transported to the vibrant streets of Mumbai.
Ingredients: Patrón Reposado, Patrón Citrónge Lime, lime juice, mango puree, spice rose simple syrup, chili-salt & lime wheel (for garnish)
6. Blueberry Margarita with Basil
The perfect blend of tart and sweet mixed with a hint of herbal goodness, this cocktail is truly something special.
No, it’s not just blueberries in a regular marg recipe.
Instead, you’ll muddle fresh, ripe berries with basil. And along with the usual lime juice, you’ll add tangerine juice for a wonderfully sweet kick of citrus.
Does it get any better than that?
Ingredients: fresh blueberries, lime juice, simple syrup, tangerine juice, Patrón Silver, Grand Marnier, citrus soda, basil leaves
7. Lime Coconut Cooler
This yummy Patrón drink combines the flavors of tart lime juice and cool coconut for a refreshment like no other.
You’ll need coconut sparkling water. Though coconut water and club soda will work too.
But it’s not just coconut and lime. Oh no! You’ll make a scrummy chili pepper simple syrup too.
This one is a complex blend of sweet, fresh, and spicy. And I can’t get enough!
Ingredients: Patrón Citrónge Lime, chili pepper simple syrup, coconut sparkling water, lime juice, lime wheels & sliced jalpeños (for garnish)
8. A Festive Punch with Patron
A festive punch with Patrón and Triple Sec? Sounds like a winning combination for anyone’s party!
This cocktail is an excellent alternative to boring old beer. It’s bold yet sweet, tangy yet subtle.
So cheers to you and cheers to the perfect drink.
Ingredients: lime seltzer, Patrón Silver, Triple Sec, cranberry juice, lime juice, ice, rosemary sprigs & fresh cranberries (for garnish)
9. Tequila Mojito
Here’s a tasty Mexican twist on a Cuban classic. Because everyone loves a mojito, right?
But when you want a bit more bang for your buck, why not swap out white rum for silver tequila?
It’s a surprisingly good fit. So much so, it’ll become your new poolside sipper after just one mouthful.
Ingredients: Patrón Silver, lime juice, simple syrup, club soda, mint leaves, ice, lime wedge (for garnish)
10. Lakeside Sangria
Lakeside Sangria is one of the tastiest summer drinks around!
It’s light and fruity, with a hint of citrus to balance out the sweetness. And the blend of white wine, tequila, and lime juice just can’t be beaten.
The color comes from Monin blueberry syrup, though you can use any flavoring here.
For example, I love it with passionfruit!
Ingredients: lime juice, Monin blueberry syrup, Patrón Silver, Patrón Citrónge Lime, rosé or white wine, sparkling water, fresh blueberries (for garnish)
11. Espresso Martini with Patrón XO and Cardamom Bitters
This robust little drink is sure to add a kick to your cocktail hour.
With notes of coffee, chocolate, and hints of pepper, it’s got a unique and tantalizing aroma.
And it makes the ever-trendy espresso martini just a little bit more fun.
Unfortunately, Patrón XO has been discontinued. So if you find a bottle, snatch it up while you can!
Ingredients: Patrón XO, vodka, espresso, cardamom bitters, ice
12. Tan Fresco Tan Verde
Even though I have no idea how it got its name, the Tan Fresco Tan Verde is a tequila cocktail you have to try.
The cucumber juice base provides an eye-catching green hue and a depth of flavor that melds perfectly with the pineapple and lime juice.
Add some Ancho Verde (a liqueur made from early poblano chile harvests), and it’s a fun, sweet, tart, spicy, and very boozy drink.
Ingredients: Patrón Silver, cucumber juice, lime juice, pineapple gum syrup, fino sherry, Ancho Verde liqueur
13. Strawberry Tequila Smash
Smash cocktails often feature ripe fruits with mint or herbs ‘smashed’ in the bottom of the glass.
That’s then topped with spirits and maybe something bubbly.
Fruit + booze + bubbles = a winner every time.
This one has strawberries and spearmint, making it super juicy and sweet with a pleasantly refreshing finish.
Ingredients: fresh strawberries, spearmint leaves, Patrón Añejo, lime juice, agave nectar, ice, sparkling water
14. Patron Skinny Margarita
Need a cocktail that packs a punch without packing on the calories? Then the Patrón skinny margarita is for you.
It’s the perfect balance of tart, herbaceous, and savory flavors. And the mix of Añejo and lime is to die for.
If you’d like to make it even skinnier, just add less simple syrup.
Ingredients: Patrón Citrónge Lime, Patrón Añejo, simple syrup, lime juice, club soda, ice
15. Tequila Sunrise
This classic Mexico-born cocktail is a refreshing blend of tequila, orange juice, and Grenadine.
Served over ice, the different viscosities leave you with a beautiful sunrise-inspired gradient.
The trick is to add the Grenadine slowly. I like to pour it over the back of a spoon to keep it from mixing too much.
Ingredients: Patrón Silver, orange juice, Grenadine orange slice & maraschino cherries (for garnish)
16. Watermelon Margaritas
These exotic margaritas offer a unique taste experience with every sip.
Refreshing watermelon, just the right amount of zip from the lime juice, and a hint of sweetness from the simple syrup.
It’s a match made in cocktail heaven. And it’s perfect for poolside chillin’ or sipping while watching the sunset.
Ingredients: watermelon Jolly Ranchers or watermelon juice, Patrón Silver, lime juice, simple syrup, ice
17. Patron Pineapple Cocktail
This sweet, sour, and citrusy blend has become a favorite among party-goers this summer.
So if you need something to please a crowd, I suggest you try this tropical pineapple bevvy.
Ingredients: Patrón Silver, Patrón Citrónge orange, pineapple juice, lime juice, pineapple chunk & maraschino cherries (for garnish)
