PATRÓN Tequila Ignites the U.S. Grand Prix with the Official Cocktail of the Circuit of the Americas: The PATRÓN Citrus Circuit
Where Racing Meets Refinement
Austin’s Grand Prix weekend has always been loud, fast, and electric. But this year, amid the roar of the engines and the flash of pit lane glamour, something new is capturing everyone’s attention — a drink so fresh, so unexpected, it’s already the talk of the track.
What is it that’s turning heads from the paddock to downtown?
Fans, drivers, and A-listers are whispering about a cocktail that fuses Mexico’s artistry with motorsport’s adrenaline.
The mystery?
A creation so simple, it almost feels rebellious.
Unveiling: PATRÓN’s Citrus Circuit Takes Pole Position
The answer arrives in the form of the PATRÓN Citrus Circuit, the official cocktail of the Circuit of the Americas. It’s a bold, luminous drink made for celebration — light-tasting, bright, and unmistakably PATRÓN.
Crafted with PATRÓN Silver Tequila — made from 100% Weber Blue Agave, water, and time — this cocktail sparkles with citrus soda water and a thick lime wheel garnish shaped like a racing tire. Served in a collector’s cup with a crossbody lanyard, it’s as fashionable as it is refreshing.
“We’re incredibly excited to be back in Austin for race weekend.
This year, the PATRÓN Citrus Circuit is the star – ready to be shared with hundreds of thousands of racegoers,”
D-J Hageman
Vice President, PATRÓN Tequila North America.
It’s the kind of drink that looks at home in the hands of anyone — from the VIP suite to the stands — effortlessly bridging luxury and accessibility.
Cantina PATRÓN: Michelin Stars Meet Mexican Street Soul
For one unforgettable weekend (October 17–19), Cantina PATRÓN brings the flavors of Mexico City to Austin. The pop-up is a collaboration with Taqueria El Califa de León, Mexico City’s only Michelin-starred taco stand — and a cultural icon in its own right.
“At El Califa de León, we’re thrilled to experience this race weekend in Austin alongside PATRÓN.
It’s an honor to share our passion for Mexico,
its flavors, traditions, and spirit in an experience that celebrates our culture,”
Mario Hernández
owner of El Califa de León
The collaboration is a celebration of pure craft — tacos made with three essential ingredients, tequila made with three natural elements. It’s proof that true luxury isn’t about excess; it’s about perfection through simplicity.
Guests can expect live music, stunning design, signature tacos, and a full bar of handcrafted PATRÓN cocktails. And behind it all? An immersive experience that reveals how authentic tequila is made — no filters, no shortcuts.
