PATRÓN Perfectionists Special – new podcast!

SHARE

There’s something different and altogether rather special about this episode’s theme. It’s all about PATRÓN Tequila and more specifically about PATRÓN Perfectionists. As the name suggests it’s a celebration of the very best in tequila, education and cocktail creation.

Once again the global final took place at the home of PATRÓN, the stunning Hacienda PATRÓN in Jalisco, Mexico. And we were fortunate enough to be there to follow the action and join the judging.

We talk with previous global winners Giulia Cuccurrullo (2020) and Harrison Kenney (2022) about their experiences in the competition and what they were looking for as judges this year; taste one of the Challenge Champion drinks with Max Macauley and catch up with Lauren Mote, Global Director of On-Trade Excellence for PATRÓN Tequila, who explains the aims of PATRÓN Perfectionists and what the program means for the competition’s bartenders and their guests.

Along the way we share our tasting of a beautiful PATRÓN Tequila cocktail and mix up a luxe version of a Paloma.

Tune into join us at the Hacienda PATRÓN.
