Patrón’s Platinum Margarita

We have been on a cocktail and wine streak lately, so why mess up a good thing?! Let’s continue our good fortune of fantastic drinks with a ridiculously decadent recipe from Patrón.  My lovely friends at the company have sent me today’s physics-bending cocktail and I simply couldn’t wait to share it with you all. Personally, I’ve never seen anything quite like it. Created in NYC by the head mixologist, Rael Petit, at Delilah, this beauty comes with a whooping $100 price tag. Yeah, you heard me right… 100 buckaroos, my friends.  At this point, it’s natural to wonder who in their right mind would pay that much for a single drink at a bar? But trust me, if you were offered to option to purchase a mini cosmic universe in a glass (and you had that sort of disposable income), you’d take the bate. But fret not, you don’t have to hop on a plane to the Big Apple to experience one of these magic unicorn blood drinks. I have the recipe! And although this might be out of most of our mixology leagues, it certainly is worth seeing.  So without further ado…

So, who’s going to attempt this magical feat in mixology? Anyone?! If I can track down some “edible platinum” coloring, you will be seeing this at our party, family members.
