PATRÓN Tequila is revving up Cinco de Mayo with a suite of experiences that not only celebrate the country’s favorite cocktail – the margarita – but also toasts to the kick-off of the Miami Grand Prix race weekend.

To bring tequila fans along for the ride, PATRÓN is launching the PATRÓN Cinco Circuit sweepstakes on Cinco de Mayo, giving one lucky winner a trip to Miami’s race weekend. Then for fans in Miami,  PATRÓN will kick off Cinco de Mayo by bringing back the PATRÓN Pit Stop – with special guest, global superstar Becky G. – a highly sought after event which made its debut at the Austin Grand Prix last year.

“There’s no better way to spend Cinco de Mayo than by sipping on a delicious PATRÓN Margarita at your local bar with friends, which now may just win you the ultimate ride of a lifetime to the Miami Grand Prix through the PATRÓN Cinco Circuit,” said D-J Hageman, Vice President Marketing PATRÓN Tequila. “In addition to having one lucky fan join PATRÓN trackside, we’re also excited to once again show up during race weekend with our familia Becky G. at our Cinco de Mayo celebration, the PATRÓN Pit Stop.”
