For someone who doesn't generally like tequila, I sure drank a lot of it on Friday night at Henley Festival. But the reason is that this wasn't normal tequila... it was Patrón Tequila which is a whole different ball game. I tried it a year or so ago for the first time in cocktails and was really surprised by how nice it is. On Friday I tried a new variety - the Patron XO Cafe. The 35% proof tequila is infused with the finest coffee. We were served it both as a shot and on the rocks, although I think it's best served on the rocks. Get a cold glass with loads of ice and serve it up after dinner.
It can also be poured over desserts and is surprisingly sweet and rich. I really liked it and I'm not the biggest fan of coffee either. I also made sure to try a few Margharitas at the floating Patrón bar at Henley. Have you tried Patron before? Let me know which one you like or if you're got any good cocktail receipes.
I did find a couple of great receipes using Patrón XO Cafe over on the Spitting Feathers blog. The Patron Paranormal and the Easter Sundae (which also features cherries, Coca Cola and ice cream - Yum!). Pictures above for you to drool over...
