There’s just something magical about a perfectly crafted margarita. It’s zesty, refreshing, and has that perfect balance of sweet and salty that makes you feel like you’re on a beach somewhere—even if you’re just hanging out in your backyard. And if you’re going to do it right, you’ve got to do it with the good stuff. Enter: Patrón.


Why Patrón is a Margarita Must-Have

Let’s be real—Patrón isn’t just tequila. It’s a statement. It’s smooth, crisp, and just the right amount of fancy. Made from 100% Weber Blue Agave and crafted in small batches, Patrón brings the kind of quality that makes you feel like you’re sipping a margarita at a high-end beach resort. Plus, it’s super versatile. Whether you’re going classic or feeling a little adventurous, Patrón has your back.


The Classic Patrón Margarita Recipe

Okay, let’s get down to business. You don’t need a ton of fancy ingredients—just a few simple ones that come together to make magic in a glass. Here’s how to make the perfect classic margarita with Patrón:

What You Need:

  • 2 oz Patrón Silver Tequila – Smooth, clean, and perfect for mixing.
  • 1 oz Fresh Lime Juice – Trust me, skip the bottled stuff. Go fresh.
  • ½ oz Orange Liqueur – Cointreau or Triple Sec works beautifully.
  • ½ oz Agave Syrup – Balances out the tartness with a touch of sweetness.
  • Salt – For rimming the glass (optional, but highly recommended).
  • Lime Wheel or Slice – For a little garnish pizzazz.

How to Make It:

  1. Get That Glass Ready:

    • Grab a lime wedge and run it around the rim of your glass.
    • Dip the rim into salt for that iconic salted edge. It’s the little things that make a margarita magical.
  2. Shake Things Up:

    • In a cocktail shaker, combine Patrón Silver, lime juice, orange liqueur, and agave syrup.
    • Toss in some ice and shake it like you mean it. This isn’t a gentle swirl situation—you want it nice and frothy.
  3. Pour and Sip:

    • Fill your prepared glass with fresh ice.
    • Strain your margarita mixture over the ice.
    • Garnish with a lime wheel or slice. Not just for looks—it’s great for a little extra squeeze of lime.
  4. Enjoy:

    • Take a sip and let that perfect blend of sweet, tart, and tequila warmth take you straight to paradise. Cheers to you, margarita master.

Pro Tips for the Best Margarita:

  • Fresh is Best: Use freshly squeezed lime juice. It’s a game-changer.
  • Chill the Glass: Pop your glass in the freezer before you start. Cold glass + cold margarita = perfection.
  • Experiment with Flavors: Feeling adventurous? Add a splash of mango puree or a pinch of chili powder for a little kick.
