PATRÓN® TEQUILA IGNITES THE U.S. GRAND PRIX WITH THE OFFICIAL COCKTAIL OF THE CIRCUIT OF THE AMERICAS: THE PATRÓN CITRUS CIRCUIT

Race fans can experience the exclusive cocktail from the COTA track to Cantina PATRÓN, a one-weekend-only pop-up in collaboration with Mexico City's Michelin-starred Taqueria El Califa de León.

HAMILTON, Bermuda, Oct. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- This race weekend, PATRÓN Tequila will bring the vibrant spirit and uncompromising greatness of its timeless craftsmanship to the heart of Austin, creating outstanding luxury experiences that will flow from the streets of the city to the track finish line. As the official cocktail of the Circuit of the Americas (COTA), the PATRÓN Citrus Circuit will make its debut across two distinct activations: Cantina PATRÓN and an on-site activation at the track reimagining the brand's distillery, Hacienda PATRÓN.

The PATRÓN Citrus Circuit is a bold cocktail that's light tasting, bright, and effortlessly sippable. This unique drink perfectly captures the electric atmosphere of the track and is unmistakably PATRÓN: crisp, premium, and made to be seen. Expertly crafted with our super-premium tequila, PATRÓN Silver – made with 100% Weber Blue Agave, water, and time – this cocktail will feature a splash of citrus soda water and a thick lime wheel garnish, made to represent a racing wheel. It will be served in a custom collector's cup with a crossbody lanyard, keeping fans' hands free for style, convenience, and celebration.

The PATRÓN Citrus Circuit is a must-try for race fans and a testament to the quality and craftsmanship that defines PATRÓN.

Cantina PATRÓN
For one weekend only (October 17-19), PATRÓN will unveil Cantina PATRÓN, an exclusive pop-up created in collaboration with Mexico City's only Michelin-starred taco stand – Taqueria El Califa de León. Just like PATRÓN Tequila, which is crafted using three natural ingredients, El Califa's tacos are proof that true greatness needs nothing more than the ingredients and uncompromising craft. This collaboration unites world-class culinary artistry with PATRÓN Tequila's handcrafted cocktails and Austin's cultural vibrance.

Featuring live music, elevated designs, and an atmosphere buzzing with energy, Cantina PATRÓN will immerse guests in the authentic street food culture of Mexico City, including a curated menu of signature tacos (beef, pork, or veggie), and custom PATRÓN cocktails. Beyond the food and drinks, Cantina PATRÓN will host surprise talent appearances and experiences, including a unique, immersive element designed to pull back the curtain on the brand's authentic tequila-making process; a reveal you simply have to experience firsthand to understand.

Hacienda PATRÓN
The journey will continue at Hacienda PATRÓN, located at the heart of the Fan Field. This two-story destination is a captivating space and bar inspired by PATRÓN Tequila's iconic distillery in Jalisco, Mexico, bringing the spirit of the brand's authentic craftsmanship to COTA.

At the center of the activation, the PATRÓN Tree Bar will serve expertly handcrafted cocktails, including the PATRÓN Citrus Circuit. Guests can expect a vibrant atmosphere with sets by local DJs spinning vinyl, and plenty of opportunities to capture the moment against a variety of photo backdrops, including a lush agave wall and the PATRÓN x COTA Barrel Wall. Hacienda PATRÓN will be the premier destination for fans within the Circuit of the Americas this race weekend.
