In celebration of Margarita Month from February to March, coinciding with International Margarita Day on February 22nd.

Edinburgh and Glasgow’s boldest, most innovative bars including The Voyage of Buck, Uno Mas and El Cartel in Edinburgh, as well as The Gate, West Side Tavern, and Dockyard Social in Glasgow, will be raising a glass with the PATRÓN familia to celebrate International Margarita Day by offering handcrafted ‘Botanas’ - traditional Mexican small plates of exclusive Margarita serves perfectly curated with PATRÓN Silver, and specially curated Margarita menus, across Scotland.

The Voyage of Buck (Edinburgh) has developed a special taco menu featuring dishes that have been designed to perfectly complement the flavour profile of the iconic Margarita cocktail, made with PATRÓN Silver Tequila. Tacos range from lamb shoulder with Greek yoghurt to feta cheese and butternut squash, drizzled in red chilli oil. PATRÓN Tequila UK Brand Ambassador Gianluca Pavenello Canella will also be hosting a dinner and tasting for one night only on the 15th March. Limited spaces available, please book here.

Uno Mas (Edinburgh) has developed a curated menu of cocktails including the Elderflower and Cucumber Margarita (a combination of PATRÓN Silver Tequila, St Germain cordial, cucumber lime and sugar) and many other special serves, inspired by the traditional margarita cocktail. Tee and John McCellan will be hosting a “Vinyl Nights” DJ set on February 23rd.

Hoot The Redeemer (Edinburgh) Will host the 2022 winner of PATRÓN Perfectionists, Max Macauley, who will do a shift to celebrate the perfection of PATRÓN Margarita this International Margarita Day. Visit Max to check out his Simply Perfect twists on the Margarita.

Dockyard Social (Glasgow) is hosting a specially curated menu, with specially paired tacos and a DJ, starting on 25th February.

The Gate (Glasgow) will be hosting a Taco Kitchen Takeover with King of Feasts on 25th and 26th February. Alongside a menu of contemporary tacos, there will be signature Margarita serves including a Maggie Vice, made with PATRÓN Silver Tequila, coconut, strawberry and pineapple.

West Side Tavern will host a one-off bar takeover with Liverpool-based, Present Company on 6th March with a curated menu of exceptional margaritas.

Other bars across the city are also celebrating with PATRÓN in their own unique way.

These International Margarita Day celebrations pay homage to the Mexican roots of PATRÓN and its tequila-making tradition. Passionately handcrafted in Jalisco by PATRÓN’s familia, maintaining a tireless dedication to achieve perfection in every drop. PATRÓN uses only the highest-quality three natural ingredients masterfully combined to ensure consistency and quality in production handcrafting the finest tequila in the world.

Since the brand’s inception in 1989, PATRÓN Tequila continues to experiment, explore and create bold innovations whilst staying committed to its handcrafted production process that delivers only the highest quality, 100% naturally perfect tequila. PATRÓN Tequila uses 100% simply perfect ingredients - agave, water and yeast - and crafted in small batches to ensure consistency and quality. PATRÓN has one goal in mind and that’s to create the finest tequila in the world.

Max Macauley, 2022 winner of ‘PATRÓN Perfectionists’ and host of the International Margarita Day event at Hoot The Redeemer, Edinburgh says: “As a member of the PATRÓN familia, it’s inspiring to work with bar teams to celebrate Margarita Month. In my eyes, PATRÓN stands for passion and the handcrafted perfection - something that we want to reflect in every drink I get my hands on! I’m proud to be hosting the ‘Locale takeover’ at Hoot The Redeemer alongside Ellie Raeside, also a perfectionist finalist - a one night only guest shift on the 15th March. I will also be doing a guest shift at Present Company in Liverpool on 5th March alongside my other perfectionist finalist, Christopher George.”

PATRÓN’s Margarita inspired activations in Scotland will be in action throughout February and March
