Renowned for creating the world’s most expensive cocktail at The Playboy Club in Mayfair (valued at £5,500, or approximately $7,100 USD per

“At PATRÓN Tequila, we are incredibly proud to be a pioneer, leading the category and pushing boundaries,” said David Rodriguez, PATRÓN Tequila Master Distiller. “That same unwavering commitment guided us as we crafted a premium tequila blend exclusively for the world’s most luxurious cocktail. By bringing together three of our most exceptional aged tequilas, each matured in distinct casks, we’ve created an expression with remarkable depth, balance, and  character—one worthy of anchoring a truly unforgettable cocktail experience.”
 
A Cocktail Beyond Compare – Served in a Glass of Timeless Elegance This cocktail is an ode to the art of fine mixology and will be meticulously composed of: 
 
● PATRÓN Tequila’s special-edition blend is a rare expression that combines three exceptional aged tequilas, each crafted in small batches using a time-honored, handcrafted process with only three natural ingredients: 100% Weber Blue Agave, water, and yeast. With a radiant golden hue and rich notes of caramel, vanilla, butter, and stone fruit, this one-of-a-kind blend delivers a smooth, layered finish with remarkable depth and character —a tequila that mirrors the meticulous quality and artistry of the iconic Baccarat glass.

● Kina Lillet from 1950, adding a depth of character that can only be achieved with time

● 1930s Angostura bitters, bringing a touch of historical complexity Baccarat: Verre à eau service Leczinska Designer : Georges Chevalier - 1937 

True treasures of Baccarat's creative heritage, these two glasses from Service Leczinska embody the avant-garde spirit and excellence of the Maison. Created for the 1937 International Exhibition of Arts and Techniques in Modern Life in Paris, where the most renowned houses and artists of the time showcased exceptional pieces, they are a testament to artisanal mastery and unparalleled refinement. 
 
The Service Leczinska, named in tribute to Queen Marie Leszczyńska, wife of Louis XV, pays homage to Baccarat’s royal heritage, as it was King Louis XV who granted permission to establish the Baccarat Manufacture in 1764. 
 
Crafted from crystal of extreme purity and blown at high temperatures, these glasses exemplify the perfect balance between art and innovation. Never reissued since their creation, they were selected by the Petit Palais in Paris to be displayed to the public during the 250th anniversary exhibition of Baccarat, reaffirming their unique place in the Maison’s heritage. 
 
In the vibrant world of Baccarat barware, these extraordinary pieces redefine the tasting experience, transforming every sip into a moment of pure sophistication. To hold one is to grasp history itself —an experience reserved for true connoisseurs, where rarity meets art de vivre. 
 
Following the grand cocktail reveal and auction, guests will enjoy the remainder of the evening listening to DJ Lorenzo, having gourmet starters such as black caviar and oysters, and cocktails made by Federico Pavan, the Director of Bar & Area Director of Mixology at The Donovan Bar in Mayfair, London.
