Patron Pineapple Cocktail – Drinks with Patron – Patron Silver and Citrónge

This Patron pineapple cocktail is like an upgraded margarita with a tropical twist to it. If you are looking for some new drinks with Patron, be sure to add this one to your list of cocktails to try.

The fruity tequila drink combines the sweetness of pineapple with Patron silver and Patrón Citrónge orange for a cocktail that is packed with summery citrus flavor.

It’s cocktail hour and I’m in the mood for something that has pineapple in it. I love the sweetness of pineapple and Patron tequila silver is the perfect choice to pair it with.

And since fruit is so plentiful this time of the year I enjoying using all types of fruit in cocktails recipes, particularly pineapple. This type of drink makes me feel as though I am on vacation, right in my own back yard!

Fresh pineapple is a great fruit for summer. It is light and bright and makes a great side dish when grilled.

I love making drinks with Patron for cocktail parties. It is so smooth and makes a fabulous drink experience. Check out my Patron Paloma for another great tasting highball cocktail.

If you are looking for a really fruity drink, pineapple cocktails are right up your alley. The Piña Colada is probably the most popular mixed drinks made with this tropical fruit but it can also be used in dozens of other drink recipes.

Every well stocked bar should have some pineapple juice on hand. It screams summer like nothing else.

Is Tequila made of agave?

Like many alcohols, tequila is made from a plant. In the case of Patron, it’s the core of the blue agave plant which also gives use some forms of agave nectar, a natural sweetener.

Blue agave is a regionally distilled plant primarily produced in the city of Tequila, which is located about 40 miles northwest of Guadalajara, Mexico.

Normally, tequila has a 38% alcohol content, but can be produced between 31 and 55% (62 and 110 U.S. proof). To be sold in the USA, it must contain at least 40% alcohol.

Patron cocktails are popular with those whole love margaritas but are looking for a change from the traditional lime and salt drink that goes so well with tequila.

Tequila and pineapple juice is a sweeter combination that delivers a fruity finish instead of the sour taste that is so common with margaritas. 

Why choose Patron silver?

Patron is the #1 premium tequila, and I can see why! It’s really delicious and so smooth. The tequila is soft and light colored and has a fresh smooth taste with no hint of oak.

Patron is perfect for drinking straight and drinks made with Patron have a smooth, light finish to them. Oh…and the bottle is really pretty, too!

Using fruit in summer cocktails

A silver tequila works best with pineapple for Patron mixed drinks. This is especially true when you want a somewhat transparent look to your drink like this one gives you.

If you don’t have the Citrónge that is called for in the recipe card, you can substitute any orange liqueur, such as Cointreau or Triple Sec.

Nothing whisks us away to a virtual Caribbean vacation more than a fruity drink mixed with some alcohol and garnished with some fresh fruit. Fortunately, Patron Tequila Silver pairs just as well with sweet fruits as it does with limes!

Today we’ll be using pineapple, cherries and limes along with pineapple juice. All I need now is a tiny mixed drink umbrella! I like keeping the small cans of pineapple juice on hand for making mixed drinks.

Nothing is worse that a whole bottle of juice going bad because you only needed it for one drink so this sized can is perfect for the job!

Making a Patron pineapple cocktail

This great recipe combines Patron silver with another Patron product –  Patron Citrónge orange.  This liqueur is sweet and has a smooth, fresh orange taste. 

Pineapple juice and a bit of lime completes the drink.

The drink could not be easier to make. Just fill a glass with ice and add your two varieties of Patron. Then fill the glass with pineapple juice, add a splash of fresh lime, and give it all a good stir.

Easy peasy and ready in just a few minutes.

To garnish the drink, add a pineapple chunk, a lime wheel, and a maraschino cherry and you are set. Can we say tropical?

Is the Patron Pineapple drink a strong one?

The answer to this question really depends on the size of your glass. If you use a rocks glass with just a small amount of pineapple juice, you’ll get quite a kick from the drink.

To make a milder and less strong drink, just use the same amount of alcohol but choose a highball glass and pour in more pineapple juice. The highball drink will be slightly sweeter.
