The Armani Signature Code was created by Patron Tequila to serve at the Maxim Super Bowl XLIV Party. While it is a good drink option for that sporting occasion, it is also a fabulously designed cocktail.
It is not often that tequila is placed in a cocktail of this caliber, which is unfortunate, but this one proves that the spirit has a place in elegant drinks. It does reflect the esteem of Armani thanks to the creative use of an old-time liqueur like creme de violette and a often hard to pair herb like bergamot. That bergamot juice is hard to find, but with a little effort it is possible in some natural food stores.
