Tasting Table and Patrón XO Cafe Trick & Treat Cocktail Party

On October 26, Tasting Table and Patron cohosted a cocktail party in Tasting Table's Test Kitchen & Dining Room to celebrate Patron XO Cafe. The event was attended by 60 Patron Social Club members, who scored invitations through PatronSocialClub.com. The guests enjoyed inventive passed canapes from Tasting Table's executive chef, Brendan McHale, including bone marrow and caviar on toast, and pork belly with butterscotch.

Troy Sidle from Alchemy Consulting created three custom Patron XO Cafe cocktails for the event, including the Old Factory, which combines Patron XO Cafe, Patron Silver, tawny port, Luxardo and Angostura bitters.

Guests mingled in the space, enjoying the food and cocktails and interacting with the chefs in the open kitchen.
