Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at PhotobucketEVERY TREND SETTING PERSON SHOULD HAVE A SIGNATURE DRINK.JUST LIKE ONE HAS A SIGNATURE PERFUME(BE DELICIOUS), OR SIGNATURE COLOR (PINK & GREEN), EVEN A SIGNATURE STYLE (FLYY BEYOND MEANS),ONE SHOULD HAVE THAT SEXY SIGNATURE DRINK THATS BEYOND THE USUAL. FOR INSTANCE MY CHOICE OF LIQUOR IS PATRON ( I NOW EVERYONE DRINKS PATRON). THEREFORE MY SIGNATURE DRINKS OFTEN CONTAIN PATRON( MARGUIRITA'S, SUNRISES, SHOOTERS ...etc) AND THE OUT OF SEASON PATRON MOJITO ( WHICH I LIKE TO THINK I INVENTED)

THE MARGARITA IS A TROPICAL DRINK THAT IS SOLD ALL YEAR AROUND. AND THE PATRON ADDS JUST THE RIGHT KICK TO THIS SALTY AND SOUR DRINK!
