Il bar aprirà a Tricase e sarà dedicato ai cocktail. Fonte di ispirazione per il regista americano, un piccolo locale leccese. Un cocktail bar, magari sullo stile di quello del film con Tom Cruise. Taylor Hackford, regista cinematografico statunitense, marito dell’attrice Hellen Mirren dal 1997, aprirà a breve un locale notturno a Tricase.

Patrón Spirits introduces Roca Patrón, the company’s first line of tequilas produced entirely from the labour-intensive, centuries-old tahona process. Made from 100 percent Weber Blue Agave, each tequila in the new Roca Patrón family – Roca Patrón Silver, Roca Patrón Reposado, and Roca Patrón Añejo – is handcrafted at a specific proof higher than the core line of Patrón tequilas.
