Pop(sicle) goes Patrón

Cocktail ice-lollies are so very now,  the Ice Creamists have been up to mischief with nuns, guns and absinthe and Fisherman’s Friend with, cough, cough, ice cream.

So now we are delighted to report another taste sensation –  mouth-watering, ultra premium Patrón-flavoured popsicles. First up is Patrón Silver Tequila, a crystal clear white spirit made from 100 per cent blue agave – a member of the lily family – overseen by the watchful eye of Patrón’s Master Distiller, Francisco Alcaraz, the industry’s ‘Godfather of Tequila’.  Did you know that each bottle is individually washed in tequila before it is filled? Second is Patrón XO Cafe, a blend of Patrón Silver tequila and Arabica coffee bean from Mexico – an indulgent tequila-based coffee liqueur, bottled in a frosted hand-made glass bottle and finished with a purple ribbon.

We can’t wait to try the Patrón Perfect Margarita popsicle, the fruity beauty that is Patrón Piña Coronada, the refreshing Patrón Paloma or delve into our dark side with a Patrón Raging Bull made using Patrón XO Cafe.

If you are planning a party, or fancy trying a new way to get your cocktail fix, mix up some of these delicious recipes below and then freeze them for a sub-zero taste sensation. You won’t be able to buy them in the shops, but we’ll be stocking our freezer like this:
