Margaritas
Blue Margarita
Love a good margarita, but want something a smidge different? Give this blue margarita a try.
Why it’s good: it has all the classic tastes of a margarita, but with an electric blue color. You can easily make it by the pitcher for parties or get togethers.
Cranberry Margarita
This cranberry margarita is a nice flavor twist on a classic margarita. The light pink color and tart citrus flavors make a nice combination.
Why it’s good: the cranberry flavor is perfect for the fall season. It also is super easy to make by the pitcher in just a few minutes.
Coffee Margarita
This coffee margarita is yet another nice flavor twist on a classic cocktail. It has a heavy coffee flavor mingled with a light citrus tang.
Why it’s good: with just four simple ingredients, you can shake this drink up in under five minutes. If you are looking for a little caffeine and a little booze, this is a great drink choice.
Coronita Margarita
This coronita margarita (also know as a frosty or mexican bulldog) is a party in a glass. One part margarita, one part corona.
Why it’s good: it’s a centerpiece drink that is sure to dazzle your guests – it literally has a mini bottle of corona turned upside down in it. It has a great frozen margarita flavor with corona added in.
Shots
Mini Beer Shot
This fun and festive mini beer shot doesn’t actually have any beer in it at all. So, if you are a beer aficionado, but something a little fancier for your big day, this may be the one to try.
Why it’s good: this one can really be a centerpiece drink especially if you serve it in tiny, mini beer mugs. It is a simple and sweet layered shot.
Tequila Boom Boom
Looking for an action packed drink? This Tequila boom boom fits the bill! It’s got a hot spice (from actual hot sauce) and you drink it after booming or slamming it onto a table to get that champagne to fizz up.
Why it’s good: this is a really fun drink, great if you want to get your party goers attention. It also only takes about 2 minutes to make.
Mixed Drinks
Tequila Punch
This tequila punch is super easy to make. It is a fizzy, lightly sweet and fruity tasting punch that you can adjust the flavor of easily.
Why it’s good: super customizeable – just use your favorite fruit juices. Or, you can change out the liquors to make a vodka punch or a rum punch instead.
Tequila & Sprite
Try a tequila and sprite if you love margaritas, but want a drink that’s faster and easier. This lightly fizzy, citrusy drink is refreshing as well.
Why it’s good: customize it by using whatever sprite variation you prefer. Amp up the flavors by adding a salt rim or a slice of lemon or lime.
