When you go out for a round or two of cocktails with your friends, what drink do you order? Is it one of those sticky-sweet faux martini drinks that bartenders hate making? Or do you choose the dull-as-dishwater option of rum and cola? Stop! There are way better options you’re missing out on. Give some of these splendid drinks a try and find a new favorite for the next time you go out on the town.

1. Gin & Tonic The gin & tonic is a classic drink for a reason. It’s refreshing. It’s classy. And it’s absolutely enjoyable. It might just be the most perfect drink ever. Unless you are looking for a lower calorie drink. If so, try ordering it with diet tonic water or club soda instead and you’ll turn it into a refreshingly healthy option.

2. Sidecar Some people love a good sweet-tasting drink. The taste of alcohol can be off-putting for some palates. The Sidecar is an ideal option for you if you like a sweet drink. Order an amaretto sour and the bartender is likely to chuckle at you while he’s got his back turned. Order a Sidecar and you’re all class. Cognac, triple sec, lemon juice and Grand Marnier get shaken together with ice and poured into a glass for your drinking pleasure.

3. Martini The original martini will always be the quintessential drink. It’s traditionally made with gin and vermouth with a garnish of green olives or a lemon twist. But over the years, it’s been bastardized into all sorts of abominations like the insufferable appletini. Try a real martini and you’ll see why it’s ridiculous to mess with a true icon.

4. Michelada Few people are aware of this fantastic traditional Mexican drink. After all, you go out for Mexican food and you’ve got margaritas all over the drink menu. But the Michelada is a fun and lively drink that will go great with your enchiladas. It’s a bit spicy in the most delightful way, a twist on the Bloody Mary with beer, tomato juice and lime juice. Then it’s giv

Those of us who wish to create our own cocktails at home are often left wondering why our concoctions are not nearly as delicious as the ones that are served to us by our helpful bartender. All it takes is a little bit more attention to detail and access to a few helpful tips to take your cocktails to the next level. Incorporating fresh ingredients is key and so is knowing how to enhance said ingredients. By using fresh ingredients, you can enhance the flavor of the drink significantly and create a beverage that is every bit as good as the ones you receive at your favorite local watering hole. Let's take a closer look at some of the ways that you can incorporate fresh ingredients into your cocktails.

Using Freshly Squeezed Juice

When you use juices that are freshly squeezed, as opposed to store bough juices that come out of a can, you are able to bring the flavor of your cocktails to the next level. Cocktail connoisseurs can instantly tell the difference between beverages that were made with fresh juices, as opposed to those that have been created with canned juice. If you'd like to make the cocktail process simpler, be sure to keep a hand held juicer at the ready, so that you can make freshly squeezed juices within a moment's notice.

Freezing Your Fruit

Those who have extra fruit floating around their house that they wish to maintain would do well to begin storing it in their freezer for safe keeping. When the ingredients for your cocktails are out of season, the freezer is the best place for storage. Simply pop your fruits into an ice tray with some water and enjoy the enhanced levels of flavor as they melt into your drink with ease.

Muddle Your Ingredients

If you'd like to release natural oils into your cocktails and you've grown tired of the substandard results that a bottled product can provide, start muddling your ingredients. When you muddle in fresh herbs, fruits and natural

Patron creates a stellar lineup of tequilas, each one with its own distinctive flavor. Silver Patron is a white variety that’s made from the finest Weber Blue Agave, while Reposado Patron is aged for a minimum of two months for a smooth taste with just a hint of oak. Want a tequila that is ideal for sipping? The Anejo Patron is the one. It’s oak-aged for over 12 months, and intensely flavorful.

The Roca Patron varieties are crafted a little differently. They use the tahona process which results in a complex flavor. Roca Patron Silver gives off a unique flavor of pumpkin, black pepper, and lime tea. Roca Patron Reposado is a bit of a sweeter indulgence with hints of oak, vanilla, ginger, and caramel. The Anejo is a fruitier variety, that bursts with raisin, wood, nuts, and grapefruit after a 14-month aging process.

For the ultimate luxury, Gran Patron is what you need. The Gran Patron Platinum is distilled three times, making it one of the most quality tequilas out there. It’s a smooth ride with a bold flavor. Piedra is aged for three years, while Burdeos is a luxurious anejo that finishes its aging in Bordeaux wine barrels.

An ideal after dinner drink can be found with the Patron XO Café varieties. Blended with coffee, cocoa, or chili, they offer a distinctive way to finish any fine meal. Want a fruitier tequila liqueur? Try the Patron Citronge. It’s wonderful by itself or mixed into your favorite cocktails. Have a taste of it in mango, orange, or lime.

Then there are the limited editions that tequila enthusiasts should be sure to try. Among them, Anejo 7 Anos is one of the rarest. As the name suggests, it’s aged for seven years, ensuring absolute tequila perfection. The Cask Collection Sherry Anejo is pure elegance thanks to being aged for over two years in Oloroso Sherry oak barrels.

Patron consistently provides quality tequila for every mood. From shots to cocktails, there is no better tequila out there that deliv
