Horizon Beverage Co. of Rhode Island, in collaboration with Warwick’s Jefferson Speakeasy, hosted an industry night featuring Patrón tequilas on July 15. The event celebrated the relaunch of the limited-edition Patrón XO Café Coffee Liqueur. During the evening, Jefferson Speakeasy Bartenders Sierra Porter, Daniel Nuebler and Ryan Pickett made specialty craft cocktails featuring Patrón Silver, El Cielo and El Alto tequilas and XO Café Coffee Liqueur. Patrón El Cielo is the newest super-premium tequila in the line, quadruple-distilled to reveal naturally sweet agave flavors. Patrón El Alto is a prestige tequila handcrafted from the finest 100% blue Weber agave grown in the highest parts of Jalisco, Mexico. Available while supplies last, Patrón XO Café Coffee Liqueur is made from just two ingredients: Patrón Silver Tequila and Arabica coffee beans from Veracruz and Chiapas, Mexico.
