WHO: Alexis DeJoria Racing
WHAT: After years of being affectionately known as ‘Team Green,’ the Alexis DeJoria Racing team has undergone an exciting brand transformation in between the 2013 and 2014 NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series’, now proudly displaying the signature purple, gold, and black scheme of the darker side of the Patrón Spirits Company- Patrón XO Cafe. The XO Cafe brand defies convention, marrying the great taste of Patrón Silver tequila with the natural essence of fine coffee – it’s exciting and exhilarating and provocative, exactly what Alexis stands for.
To help the newsmakers, noisemakers, and influencers of our fast-paced industry better understand our new brand, we’re hosting an XO Cafe brand seminar and cocktail tasting event.

Patrón XO Cafe
Patrón XO Cafe is an extraordinary blend of ultra-premium Patrón Silver tequila and the pure, natural essence of fine coffee. The taste is dry, not sweet as with most low-proof coffee liqueurs. Patrón XO Cafe Dark Cocoa combines high-quality Patrón Silver tequila with the extraordinary essence of fine coffee and Criollo chocolate from Mexico. Patrón XO Cafe Dark Cocoa marries the smooth, dry taste of Patrón XO Cafe with the decadence of rich chocolate and light tequila. Both Patrón XO Cafe and Patrón XO Cafe Dark Cocoa are excellent for sipping, as a premium cocktail ingredient, or as a unique and delicious dessert topping.
