Friday Happy Hour: Patr車n XO Caf谷Posted Apr 13th 2007 5:04PM by Joanne LutynecFiled under: Recipes, Happy Hour, TequilaI hadn't touched tequila for the better part of a decade until someone handed me a glass of Patrón in Las Vegas a few years ago. The aged, crystal clear, premium flavor redefined any preconceived notion of tequila that I had, and set a whole new standard for what I would order in the way of tequila from that point on, even in my margaritas. That said, I was pretty excited to see that they have expanded their line to include a tequila infused with pure coffee essence - Patrón XO Café. Since I haven't tried it yet, I'm hoping Jonathan will do an in-depth review at some point, but in the meantime I'll leave you with a number of drink recipes recommended on their website, which can be found after the jump.Raging Bull1/2 Lime1 1/2 oz Patrón XO CaféChilled ColaMethod: In an ice filled 10 oz highball glass, squeeze half a lime and drop ti into the glass.
