To celebrate the traditional Mexican holiday Day of the Dead, Patrón Tequila presents Art of Patrón X Day of the Dead at the UNIT London in Mayfair on 2nd November.
Known as Dia de Muertos in Mexico, Day of the Dead is a celebration of life, remembering the dead and honouring ancestors with love and respect. With every celebration comes a toast. What better way to toast this colourful and authentic Mexican festival than with Patrón – the world’s finest, ultra premium tequila.

Art of Patrón will take you on an immersive and colourful journey of authentic Mexican heritage, through the lens of the world’s finest tequila.
Guests will enjoy specially-created Patrón Tequila Day of the Dead cocktails.
