Now in its second year in the U.S. and fifth year around the globe, the Patrón Perfectionists Competition allows bartenders to express themselves and to create their own articulation of the perfect Patrón cocktail.
After striving for perfection through pushing boundaries and creating unique cocktails at fierce regional competitions across Portland, New Orleans, and New York this past fall, three talented bartenders have advanced to the final phase of competition: the Perfectionists Global Competition! To start 2020 off with a bang, these three regional finalists will travel to Guadalajara, Mexico from January 18th-24th to compete with bartenders around the globe! Additionally, they will enjoy some rich education, including an exclusive tour of the Patrón distillery and cultural activities at the Hacienda Patrón.
