The Londoner’s Take on London Cocktail Week
Native London flavors and bartenders are making a Patrón-worthy impact at London Cocktail Week.
Sep. 29, 2017
Make Thursday shine with a sip of what Patrón is serving up today at London Cocktail Week. The Patrón Agave Sherry from some of London’s own bartenders, Alex Lawrence and James Wheeler, brings classic, savory flavors to the bar for the day’s festivities. Inspired by Patrón’s commitment to classic, long-held techniques like the Tahona wheel and the slow process of fermentation in copper stills, Alex and James combined deep notes of fermentation through sherry and Yellow Chartreuse to their simple cocktail. With a light yet spirit-forward taste, this drink is a refreshing and easily-sippable way to continue to take on the day at London Cocktail Week.
Enjoy this powerhouse drink for yourself from two of London’s best bartenders at the Patrón bar and have a taste of perfection inspired by the Simply Perfect tequila itself.
