FAQs

Can I use bottled lemon juice instead of fresh?

Fresh lemon juice provides the brightest, most authentic flavor, so it’s recommended for the best taste. Bottled juice may alter the cocktail’s freshness.

What can I substitute for PATRÓN® Citrónge Orange?

Any good-quality orange liqueur, such as Cointreau or Triple Sec, can be used as a substitute, though it may slightly change the flavor profile.
