Holiday Entertaining with Patron: The Nantucket Spritz

Every occasion needs a specialty cocktail. It’s true. I’m sure you’ve gone to weddings that had a cocktail that the bride and groom love. I’m sure you’ve gone to a holiday party and there is a twist on an old classic. They’re fun! Specialty cocktails add a little something to your party. This year, I’ve partnered with Patron to share the Nantucket Spritz, a fun holiday brunch cocktail for you and your loved ones.

First, before you go there and tell me that you don’t “do tequila,” let me tell you that you juuuuust might after this cocktail. With flavors of orange with the juice and Citronge liqueur and the effervescence from the sparkling wine, it’s a mildly tart and sweet treat to enjoy.

Maybe you do tequila but you’re worried that your guests don’t. Well, this is a simple and delicious recipe will have non-tequila drinkers asking for more. While you could have a pretty spread of juice, orange slices, and the spirits, you could save yourself some time and make a batch of it and put it in a carafe or pitcher for easy serving.

Patrón released this Limited-Edition 1-Liter bottle, making it perfect for your holiday entertaining or the perfect gift to bring with you to your celebrations. The emerald green-accented bottle with this stunning metallic stopper pays homage to Patron’s Mexican heritage. In true upcycle fashion, I already have a plan for this gorgeous bottle once it’s empty.
