NANTUCKET, MASSACHUSETTS | JUNE 2025
Presented by Patrón
We set the table for the first Supper of our Savor Series with Patrón on the secluded shores of Nantucket. It was the perfect chance to enjoy a long afternoon right at the brink of the summer season, setting the tone for many special Suppers to come.
We set a bright, festive table on the sunny lawn of The White Elephant, overlooking the Nantucket Harbor. As guests arrived, everyone was immediately drawn to the raw bar filled with waiting oysters topped with crème fraîche and caviar, backed by lobster boats unloading the day’s catch right onto the docks. There were Patrón cocktails to cool down as guests mingled in the sunshine, taking in the seaside views before sitting down to Supper.
Chef David Urwin put together a perfectly seasonal menu highlighting the best of coastal New England, from fresh tomatoes to sweet lobster and the first of the season’s corn. Accompanying each course was a specially crafted cocktail designed to perfectly pair with the flavors of the dish. Meanwhile, Krystal Garner, a Patrón Agave Master, mingled around the table to teach guests about the art of agave and the differences between each highlighted tequila.
As the sun began to set, a cool breeze came off the water, carrying with it a lingering spring chill. Luckily, that was just in time for us to serve a warming old fashioned and hearty steak. The resulting combination only encouraged everyone to lean in closer for conversations or walk along the water to warm up. The evening ended with dock lights reflecting on the water and laughter echoing off the surrounding shingle-clad buildings as everyone savored a long evening spent together at the start of the season.
WELCOME
We started things off with two signature Patrón cocktails perfect for sipping on the lawn:
A refreshing Cucumber Ranch Water + The White Elephant, a fresh sip with a kick to get things into gear.
