Moments are what we need as people, are those that give us history, the color green is the color of life, renewal and hope, with this I would like to talk to you about a green moment and pride of the state of México.
The production "tequila mezcal wine" dates back to the 16th century, however, I do not want to tire you with superfluous details, just to highlight that it has satisfied palates for almost "500 years" for its great taste and versatility. It has also been an engine of progression and development for the region of tequila and México.
It was because of the Mexican alcoholic beverage and its intrinsic relationship with the charro or mariachi.
It is impossible to conceive of the Mexican actor Pedro Infante drinking something other than tequila.
Mexican cinema, along with the Second World War, allowed tequila to position itself in an important way worldwide.
As Mexicanos, it is a no-brainer, since we know - at least in the imagination - the huge fields lit blue-green because of the agaves, we know the hard work of Patrón tequila from the jimadores to the sales representatives. Patrón takes the production of tequila to the level of a work of art, starting with the care for the correct maturation of the agave, going through the efforts of the jimadores to masterfully handle and bare the heart of the agave (the pineapple). The baking in small brick ovens to ensure even cooking and the extraction of the liquid with volcánica stone to ferment it for three days, and after bottled by the artisans who work the glass, create and mould the above, carried out at the Hacienda Patrón.
But the art does not end there. Inspired by the work and dedication of the Patrón Mexicana, we present "Margarita Verde Momento". We know that there is no more pride for Mexicans than the flag and tequila, we take the hopeful green, since tequila requires a lot of work and dedication and that is how we Mexicans are: workers, dreamers, always looking to improve and hope for a better future.
Margarita Verde Momento is a frappe-style drink that combines the freshness of mint with tequila blanco, to refresh and enhance the soul.
So, Margarita Verde Momento and the world, it does not matter if you were not born in Mexico, remember that Chavela Vargas said: "Mexicans are born all over the world even if you are not from México." Remember that with Tequila Patrón you live in the moment.
