Cocktail pop-ups are springing up all across the country this summer and Patrón is venturing into the metaverse for the first time with Summer Made Sensational: A PATRÓN Pop-Up Series. This immersive experience for tequila enthusiasts promises a unique cocktail-themed journey in Decentraland, complete with an adventurous virtual reality cocktail quest and a bar takeover inspired by three cocktails. The PATRÓN Perfect Paloma, PATRÓN Silver & Soda and PATRÓN Añejo Highball are the focus of this virtual experience and adults in the metaverse will be tasked with helping bartenders to find the ingredients for making the drinks. There's also the chance to unlock exclusive NFT wearables.
The super-premium tequila brand's entry into the metaverse follows its venture into Web 3.0 with its first-ever NFT, PATRÓN Chairman's Reserve.
