0% Additives. 100% Patrón Tequila. We’ve Always Been Additive-Free
At Patrón, we don’t use additives in our tequila. It’s a choice we made from the brand’s inception in 1989 when we created the ultra-premium tequila category.

To achieve excellence in taste and color, every drop of PATRÓN is handcrafted with only the highest-quality raw ingredients, following a time-honored distillation process. We add nothing else to alter the natural taste, smell, or color. Most importantly, we carefully cultivate the finest 100 percent Weber Blue Agave with a specifically high sugar content—to deliver exceptionally smooth flavor. Our commitment to natural production has awarded us an additive-free verification But why is steering clear of additives so important?
To cut down on production time, many tequila producers use concentrated additives to add flavor back to correct shortcuts taken during the production process. Even adding a few drops can completely change the aroma, flavor, color and texture of a tequila.
Because of our unwavering commitment to craft, authenticity, and integrity Patrón never uses Glycerin, Caramel Coloring, Oak Extract or Jarabe a sugar-based syrup. We have achieved a delicious taste profile and complex flavor without the use of additives from the very beginning and believe our community deserves to know what they are enjoying in every glass of Patrón sugar-free tequila.
Just like cooking a delicious meal, high-quality ingredients and a slow, deliberate process are needed to develop deep, complex flavors worthy of a premium tequila. At Patrón we know that the best flavor develops slowly and naturally because premium tequila takes time. That’s why from the start, we’ve used 0% additives, 100% Patrón color-free tequila.
