I love this tequila! It is the best!
I don’t like Patron or any other liquor , because it dmages mostly the brain of a person and ruins a persons life. For me it should be made illegal , just like the illegal drugs.
Alcohol only damages the brains of drunkards or college frat boys who get smashed regular basis. It causes little harm to responsible drinkers.
Awesome margs!
esta bien perro grrrrrrrrrr
Patron is the best Tequila out there. It’s so smooth and tasty… I would buy it 4 or 5 bottles at a time! <3 : )
Delish Straight
Delish Margarita
The absolute best!
Everytime I enjoy Patrón Tequila I ask myself, “Should I have the Gold or the Silver?…..both!”
I have been drinking tequila almost exclusively for 10 years. If it is atop of line tequila, I drink it without ice or fruit or vegetables in it. I find the silver the best on the plant with it sweet after taste. I don’t understand while people put Patron in margaritas. It ranks like all other fine liquors, ” It be sip and enjoyed and not slam down with lemon and salt. This my opinion of this tequila.
AGREED…100% on all points!!
Lemon and Salt is for Fish’n'Chips!
Patron Tequila is a fine product that also does an amazing amount of work for the environment.
Burdeos is unlike any other Tequila – more similar to a fine Cognac!
Bravo Patron – Bebidas Perfecto!
I was surprised, but I also like Patron XO Cafe’. When I heard about it, my first thought was “what a disgusting thing to do to a fine tequila”. A bartender friend gave me a shot, and, WOW!! Delish!!
Chilled Stright yeeeesss!!!!!!!!
