PATRÓN Silver Classic Margarita
A staple at any party is a classic Margarita, and one with PATRÓN Silver makes it even better. A light and delicious taste, coupled with a simple-to-make recipe, is perfect for larger gatherings. And pro tip: only salt-rim half the glass to give guests a choice on if they want a salty or simple sip. Rub a lime wedge only on the outside of the glass, and then roll it on a plate of salt to avoid it dripping from the rim into the glass.

PATRÓN Silver Watermelon Patio Punch
With a festive red hue, this is the perfect holiday serve and can offer guests a lighter-tasting beverage option to juxtapose with the cacophony of warmer meals and tastes at holiday dinners.
INGREDIENTS (Makes 32 servings)
- 100 ounces PATRÓN Silver
- 16 cups watermelon juice
- 4 cups fresh lime juice
- 4 cups simple syrup, to taste
- 2 teaspoons salt
- Watermelon slice for garnish
METHOD
- Lay a (preferably seedless) watermelon on its side and assess which end would be a better base if you were to stand it on its end. Using a chef’s knife, slice off a small bit of the rounded end to create a flat surface, being careful not to cut through to the flesh.
- Slice off the opposite end to create a “lid,” and stand the watermelon upright.
- Using a large spoon or ice cream scoop, hollow out the watermelon, being sure to save the flesh and any juices.
- Transfer flesh to a blender and puree lightly, enough to liquefy the mixture.
- Strain through a fine-mesh strainer to remove any pulp.
- Combine PATRÓN Silver, watermelon juice, lime juice, simple syrup, and salt and stir to thoroughly combine.
- Return contents to the watermelon for service and add ice to chill. You can also use a punch bowl and ladle.
