From what I have read, Patron Citronge = Mexican Controy. Patron is just re-labeling the Controy brand. Bottles are exactly the same. I have a bottle of both at home- they seem the same in taste, smell and viscosity (Controy has that syrup-py consistency, if youknowwhattamean).
But if they are different, I'll be all over the Controy!

We've had the Patron Citronge and believe me, it's NO Controy. Even Triple Sec is better, IMO. We always bring home Controy and use it sparingly, on special occasions, mostly. As for Cointreau, I just can't see paying their price...about triple what we pay in MX for Controy. No wonder they're filing suit against Controy...they've got a monopoly and can charge whatever they like.

Agree that Citronge is yucky. I also don't really care for Controy.
I'm not all about fancy, shmancy, but I'll pay triple the cost for the flavor of Cointreau. Only $25 per litre at the Cancun Airport, and it lasts long, long time.
Simp!

We use Contoy, makes a great margarita. Always use fresh lime juice.

Then I stand corrected (I know better than to dispute alcohol with a Wisconsinite)!
We only bought Citronge once. I must not remember clearly how it tasted vs. Controy (that was a large pitcher of Margaritas). We also have a couple of bottles of Controy and use it sparingly, only with a homemade recipe from an LG post a couple of years ago.
Good to know- I won't be tempted to try the Citronge again.
