A coronita margarita is the drink of many names. It’s sometimes called a frosty bulldog, a mexican bulldog, or a Coronarita. No matter what name you prefer, this is an easy to make, but fancy looking drink, that is a combination of a frozen margarita with a bottle of coronita dumped upside down in the glass and left there.

⭐ When to Make This Drink

📖 Tips for success

Although this drink is not very difficult to make, there are a few tips you should try to ensure that you have a successful recipe:

• Use a sturdy glass. Since you actually be leaving the coronita bottle in the glass you need to have one that’s big and sturdy. A margarita glass works well or a large Collins glass.
• Don’t overdo the frozen margarita. You need to make sure that you leave enough room in the glass for the bottle of Coronita to empty into it. So, make sure not to add too much of the frozen margarita mix.
• Make the coronita super cold. If you use warm temperature or lukewarm coronita it will quickly melt the frozen margarita when you add it leading the glass to overflow. So, stick it in the freezer for some time before you empty it into your glass.
• Add a salt rim. Make this a true margarita by running a lime wedge around the rim of the glass and then rolling your glass in salt.

🥄 Equipment

• highball glass or pint glass
• jigger
• Blender

📋 Ingredients

• 2 oz Tequila
• 1 oz Triple sec
• 1 oz Lime juice
• .5 oz Simple syrup
• Coronita or Corona
• Ice

👩🏻‍🍳 Instructions

Step one

Make sure you’ve got everything together for this margarita. You should have lime juice, tequila, coronita, simple syrup, Cointreau, ice, jigger, blender and a sturdy glass.

Step two

Put one cup of ice into the blender.

Step three

Measure out 1 oz of lime juice and put it in the blender.

Step four

Measure out 2 oz of tequila and put it in the blender.

Step Five

Measure out 1 oz of triple sec or Cointreau and put it in the blender.

Step Six

Measure out 0.5 oz of simple syrup and put it in the blender.

Step seven

Get your frozen margarita blend it together. Blender settings and times will vary.

We like to use the smoothie setting on our blender for a minute or two. It’s essential to make sure that this mixture is very thick and slushy so that it doesn’t melt right away when you add the beer.

Step Eight

Scoop some of the frozen margarita out of the blender and into your glass. You want to make sure that you do leave enough room in the glass for the Corona to fill it up.

Take your chilled coronita and turn it upside down in your margarita glass. Make sure to do this carefully. Slowly rest the bottle on the edge of the glass and watch it fill up.
