A Menu of Collaboration and History
After visiting Hacienda Patrón in Jalisco, Mexico, Head Chef Hayden Clark came back full of inspiration on how to enhance the modern aspects of our menu. Previously, our menu veered toward traditional Mexican, but with this new summer refresh, it can be described as Australian-Mexican. The team worked to incorporate Mexican recipes and Australian ingredients seamlessly. The overall feel of the summer menu is light and citrussy, with a lot more seafood.
We are also proud to unveil a new cocktail range, all influenced by traditional Mexican drinks. While some have accents of non-Mexican ingredients, we made sure to give each their own unique Bar Patrón twist. Among our new cocktails is the Watermelon Suga – our take on a fresh watermelon seltzer, marrying Patrón Silver, fresh watermelon juice, Ilegal Jovan Mezcal, Agave and Lime into a fizzy long drink. We also have the new El Santo Negroni – a spin on the classic Negroni, blending premium Patrón Roca Silver, with Campari, 1757 Extra Dry Vermouth, Luxardo Maraschino liqueur and grapefruit bitters. There is also the Tijuana Slipper, which blends Patrón Anejo Barrel Select with Amaro Montenegro and Japanese flavours of sudachi and shisho cordial and the light fizz of ginger ale; or the splash of the Japanese citrus yuzu in the Mandalirian, which showcases Patrón Silver with mandarin and lime soda.
Meanwhile, the Cancún-Coola is a twist on the traditional Mexican Cantaritos, featuring Patrón Reposado, Jamaica Flower cordial, grapefruit and pomegranate soda. Our new Up All-Night blends Patrón Silver and spiced coffee, which is prevalent in Mexican households, while the Ibarra chocolate crust takes its cues from the common use of chocolate in Mexican cooking.
