Say Hello to the Jalisco Swizzle
A taste of Mexico came out on top as the UAE Perfectionist.
Dec. 14, 2016
From top to bottom, the bartending performance Sudeera Fernando gave at the 2016 Patrón Perfectionists competition was nothing but perfect. From 27 stories up in the air at the signature bar of the Burj al Arab in Dubai, Sudeera created an elevated drink worthy of the Perfectionist title. The Jalisco Swizzle combines clean, crisp Patrón Silver with bright pineapple infusions, citrusy notes, and deep herbal and spicy flavors from bitters and basil leaves. Using every part of the pineapple from skin to pulp, his inspiration for the show-stopping drink came from Patrón’s commitment to sustainability.
Every sip was absolute perfection, Sudeera, congratulations! Now on to Jalisco for the final Perfectionists face-off!
