sip & shuck

A ritual. A reason to linger.

The Experience

Some things are worth slowing down for. Esteban's Sip & Shuck pairs Australian fresh market oysters with 50ml of Patrón El Alto — one of the world's most distinguished tequilas — in a simple, unhurried ritual designed to be shared.

This isn't a drink order. It's a way of eating.

The Ritual

Chill — Patrón El Alto arrives ice-cold, poured and ready. Take a moment before the first sip.

Sip — El Alto is a blend of Extra Añejo, Añejo and Reposado tequilas, crafted from 100% Blue Weber agave grown in the highest elevations of Jalisco. On the palate: roasted agave sweetness, a brightness of sweet citrus and orange, with light oak and baking spice, and a long, smooth finish.

Shuck — Australian fresh market oysters, served with lemon, jalapeño mignonette and smoked pasilla & pequin oil. The brine of the oyster, the heat of the mignonette, the depth of the smoked oil — each shuck a counterpoint to the tequila.

Repeat as needed.

About Patrón El Alto

El Alto is Patrón's most refined expression — a precise blend of Extra Añejo, Añejo and Reposado, each aged to a different depth, then brought together for balance. The agave comes from the highest, most demanding terrain in Jalisco, where slower growth concentrates flavour.

The result is a tequila built for the table — not the bar rail. Complex enough to sip, smooth enough to share.
