See moreEveryone’s heard the phrase “Good things come in small packages,” but being able to prove that in just one bite (or sip!) is a real feat. In this three-part “mini” series, Patrón proves that enormously good things happen when you pair tiny bottles (50mL) of tequila with bite-size finger food. Here, tiny hot dogs topped with crunchy potato chips find the perfect mate in Patrón Silver. Sip it straight or in refreshing cocktail form, like the Silver Breeze.
