Am heutigen Mittwoch, dem 24. Juli, wird der International Tequila Day zelebriert. Fehlen darf dabei natürlich nicht der Patrón Tequila, der hierzulande wohl zu den bekanntesten Vertretern des sogenannten Super- oder Ultra-Premium-Segment zählt. Selbstverständlich hat die Hacienda Patrón für den heutigen Tag auch ein zwei einfach nachzumixende Drink-Empfehlungen parat: den „Jalisco Mule“ und den „Watermelon Patio Punch“.
„Jalisco Mule“
60 ml Patrón Silver
90 ml Ginger beer
15 ml Lime juice
Lime wedge for garnish
Candied ginger for garnish
Method: Combine Patrón Silver and lime juice in a chilled mule mug filled with crushed ice. Top with ginger beer and stir. Garnish with a lime wedge and candied ginger.
„Watermelon Patio Punch“
für acht bis zehn Gläser
750 ml Patrón Silver
4 cups Watermelon juice
1 cup Fresh lime juice
1 cup Simple syrup, to taste
.5 tsp Salt
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. Use a “watermelon tap” if you have such a device or use the watermelon as a punch bowl, ladling out the punch. Alternately, you can skip the watermelon bowl altogether and use a punch bowl of your choosing.
