The chili-salt rim on the glass adds a sensory element — a combination of heat and salt that enhances the cocktail’s layered profile.
Garnished simply with a slice of red jalapeño, it’s a drink that looks as striking as it tastes. Every element, from the muddled herbs to the crisp tequila base, reflects craftsmanship and creativity — a nod to the growing trend of cocktails that balance spice and sophistication.
Whether enjoyed on a sunny afternoon or a late-night celebration, Picante Patrón is not just a cocktail — it’s an experience. Spicy, fresh, and full of character, it’s the perfect way to turn up the heat in your glass.
