Maurice Harris, Celeb floral artist unveils stunning cocktails for PATRÓN & ST~GERMAIN

To celebrate National Margarita Day (February 22), PATRÓN Tequila and ST~GERMAIN Elderflower Liqueur have teamed up with artist and floral visionary, Maurice Harris, to create fresh and joyful takes on the classic Margarita. With every bottle of ST~GERMAIN comprised of up to 1,000 fresh, handpicked elderflower blossoms and tequila’s most popular cocktail (the margarita actually meaning “daisy” in Spanish) collaborating with Maurice was a natural fit for the super-premium brands. Maurice’s signature floral flourish blooms in these one-of-a-kind cocktails that halo unique flower pairings and garnishes, elevating the classic drink. 

Maurice has designed floral installations and arrangements for high-profile global brands and personalities, including Gucci, Beyonce, Louis Vuitton and The Row. His iconic style, personality and talent have made him a staple in the design and entertainment community, recently becoming a judge on “Full Bloom,” a reality competition series on HBO Max, and filming a flower arranging course on MasterClass.
