Patrón Citronge Orange & Jalapeño Liqueur combines bright citrus sweetness with fresh jalapeño heat for a vibrant, cocktail-ready expression designed to bring an extra layer of flavor to premium tequila drinks.
Made with Patron Tequila, this clear liqueur balances sweet orange, earthy jalapeño, and warming pepper spice rather than relying on heat alone. The orange character arrives first with juicy citrus sweetness, followed by vegetal jalapeño notes and a lingering spicy finish. Patrón describes the profile as spicy and sweet orange, with a long, rich, sweet-and-spicy finish.
Its natural home is the Spicy Margarita, where Citrónge Orange & Jalapeño can provide both orange liqueur sweetness and chile-driven heat in a single ingredient. Patrón specifically recommends pairing it with Patron Reposado for a balanced spicy margarita.
At 30% ABV / 60 proof, it carries enough structure for full-flavored cocktails while remaining approachable over ice. It is an excellent choice for tequila enthusiasts, margarita lovers, home bartenders, and anyone looking for a premium spicy orange liqueur.
