6 Fabulous Cinco de Mayo Tequila Cocktails

4/1/2014

0 Comments

 
Cinco de Mayo calls for cocktails with tequila, lots of limes!  If you're not a fan of tequila, there are some great Mexican beers you can serve or you might want to try a Beer Margarita (they are good!)
6 Fabulous Cinco de Mayo Tequila Cocktails - The Tequila Sunrise | TheInvitationShop.com
One of my personal favorites is The Tequila Sunrise.  It tastes fabulous, it is a great change from the usual Cinco de Mayo margaritas and it looks fabulous!

Tequila Sunrise
4 oz orange juice
2 oz tequila
1/2 oz grenadine
orange slice for garnish
maraschino cherry for garnish

Pour tequila and orange juice into a highball glass filled with ice and stir. To get the signature two-toned look, slowly pour the grenadine around the inside edge of the glass, it will sink and slowly rise to mix with the other ingredients naturally. Garnish a cherry and orange slice.

Salty Chihuahua
Mix first 3 ingredients in a glass: 
1 - 1.5 ounce jigger tequila 
5 ounces lemonade 
1 wedge lime 
        Serve over ice, salt optional

Beer Margarita
Mix first 4 ingredients in a pitcher: 
1 12 ounce can frozen limeade concentrate 
12 ounces tequila 
12 ounces water 
12 ounces beer 
1 lime, cut into wedges 
        Blend and serve over ice, salt rim optional

Paloma
2 oz blanco or reposado tequila
6 oz fresh grapefruit soda (Squirt) OR
      grapefruit juice and splash of soda
1/2 oz lime juice
Salt for rimming (optional)
        Rim a collins glass with salt. Fill the glass with ice and add the tequila and lime juice. Top it off with grapefruit soda.  A light, fruity drink with a fizz and one of the smoothest, refreshing tequila drinks.

Moonlight Blue Margarita
Pour first 3 ingredients in a shaker with ice:
1 1/2 oz tequila
1 oz blue curacao
1 oz fresh lime juice
lime wedge for garnish
salt for rimming
        Shake and pour into a margarita glass rimmed with salt and garnish with a lime wedge.
        This drink keeps the orange flavor of a typical margarita, but the blue curacao adds a fabulously cool blue color to the cocktail.

Coco Loco
1 fresh coconut 
1 oz white tequila 
1 oz melon liqueur 
1 oz coconut rum 
1 oz pineapple juice 
1 oz sugar syrup 
1/2 fresh lime 
1 cup ice 
        Make a glass out of the coconut by slicing off top of the coconut. (Keep the coconut water to drink later-it's great over ice.) Mix tequila, melon liqueur, rum, pineapple juice, sugar syrup and ice into the empty coconut shell.

Don't forget...fabulous invitations = fabulous party turnout!
