Make it an occasion by adding Patrón

Whatever brings you together, Patrón's Party-Perfect Margarita pitcher recipe takes the undeniable appeal of the Patrón Classic and multiplies it for a crowd-pleasing favorite that represents casual refinement at its best.
Stock up on the basics
By keeping a few staples on hand, a pitcher of delicious margaritas is always just minutes away.
- Patrón Silver and Citrónge Orange Liqueur are essential ingredients for the classic margarita and make great additions to the home bar.
- Fresh citrus is a versatile staple for both kitchen and bar. Keep limes on hand as a simple, yet delicious and beautiful way to elevate food and drinks.
- It’s also a good idea to invest in a large pitcher or fun vessel for mixing and serving. It doesn’t need to be fancy or expensive, but an interesting piece often sparks conversation.
Proceed with confidence
When hosting an impromptu event, a group-friendly batch of margaritas is easy to whip up when staples are in place. Just go for it. If working with the luxury of advance notice, glasses can be rimmed with salt before guests arrive and kept aside. Fresh citrus is always best. Lime juice can be prepped in the morning and refrigerated. When guests arrive later that day, simply add the juice and ice to the margarita mix and stir. Enjoy immediately for best results.

Don’t forget the flourish
The margarita’s pièce de résistance is the lime wedge. This traditional garnish echoes the lime juice in the margarita and is also a nod to tequila’s long history with limes. Lime wedges are easy to prepare and make for a colorful presentation. Whimsical glassware, if you have it, can also add flair. These little touches go a long way toward making guests feel welcomed and appreciated.
Relax and enjoy
Spend time with guests rather than getting caught up in fussy preparations. Whether hosting an intimate gathering or welcoming a larger group, Patrón’s Party-Perfect Margaritas turn simple get-togethers into special occasions effortlessly. It’s so easy, you just may start planning your next event before the last guest leaves.
