Gran Patrón Platino Tequila

Gran Patrón Platino is an ultra-luxury silver tequila handcrafted from 100% Weber blue agave harvested from the highest parts of Los Altos de Jalisco. Triple distilled for supreme refinement and rested in oak tanks for thirty days, it achieves a remarkably supple, velvety mouthfeel. Notes of sweet cooked agave, fresh citrus, black pepper, and subtle oak grace the palate. Best savored neat in a tequila flute.

This listing is for the 1.75 L size. At a 1-ounce cocktail measure, that volume provides approximately 59 pours before allowing for spills or a different recipe.

For a Margarita variation, shake 1 ounce of tequila with three-quarters of an ounce of fresh lime juice and half an ounce of orange liqueur over ice, then strain into a glass with fresh ice. Taste before adding syrup. The sweetness of the orange liqueur and the sharpness of the lime determine how much, if any, extra sweetener you need. A partial salt rim lets you choose salted or unsalted sips.

For a longer drink, use grapefruit soda, ice and a squeeze of lime. Add the soda after the other ingredients and stir gently to preserve its bubbles. If you would rather explore the tequila itself, begin with a small pour at room temperature, then add a little water or an ice cube. Those are different ways to serve the same bottle, so choose the approach that suits your taste.
