Bar Patrón’s signature margarita is available with Silver ($21), Roca ($30) or Platinum ($40) Patrón. It will be mixed with Patrón Citronage, fresh lime juice and lime sherbet, and served in bespoke glassware with a salt rim. Happy hour prices see the signature Silver Patrón margarita available for $12 between 4pm and 6pm every day, with complimentary chips and salsa.
For those with expensive tastes, there is no better day to indulge than a Millionaire’s Margarita ($100), which is prepared in front of your eyes at the table. Sit back and watch this fabulous drink come to life: inhale the aromatics as lime and agave are hand-pressed and shaken with a trio of super-premium and rare spirits – Patrón Gran Burdeos Extra Añejo Tequila, which is aged in Premier Cru Bordeaux barrels; 150-year old, rich and luxurious Grand Marnier Cuvée du Cent Cinquantenaire; and the ‘King of Cognac’, Remy Martin Louis XIII. This stunning margarita is double strained over an ice sphere that is adorned with a shimmer of gold leaf and freckles of native finger-lime pearls and topped off with a dash of nitro.

“It is a tribute to the world’s highest quality, artisanal tequila made by Patrón, and a legacy of the alchemists and mixologists at Rockpool Dining Group,” Ali said.
“Whether it’s this flamboyant expression of a circa 1940s favourite, our signature margarita during happy hour, or a flight of extraordinary Patrón tequilas, we have something for everyone this National Tequila Day.”
