A new year usually means a chance to start fresh, whether it's trying something for the first time or starting a new tradition.

Sharing a meal with friends and family is one of the best bonding experiences people can have — even better when paired with an uplifting beverage.

Patrón Tequila, a versatile drink, is a good choice to accompany meals, whether taken neat or as a base for many craft cocktails.
