Go beyond basic beer this Fiesta with cocktails that are as colorful and vibrant as the party itself. Whether you’re celebrating at home or looking for a few festive additions to the pre-game, these drinks will get you ready for a night out in San Antonio.
Mango Miche
Calling all Michelada fans! This riff on the classic drink from Twang replaces your favorite beer with mango juice and tequila. As the Official Beer Salt of Fiesta, Twang also ups the ante on this miche with its Zas Mango Chili Seasoning and Mango Chili Strip topper.
Jaguar Colada
The fruit garnish on this tropical cocktail from Goya Foods reminds us a lot of the flower crowns you’ll see at Fiesta! This blended Costa Rican–inspired drink of passion fruit cocktail and coconut water becomes super creamy and indulgent with the addition of coconut milk.
Watermelon Slush
This simple slushy calls for just a few ingredients: watermelon (which doubles as your cocktail glass!), honey, and gin. Gray Whale Gin recommends freezing the watermelon pulp before blending and adding only a moderate amount of ice to avoid a too-watery consistency.
Prickly Pear Margarita
San Antonio’s most iconic party needs an iconic cocktail to match the celebration! This tequila-spiked frozen margarita courtesy of Boudro’s Texas Bistro boasts a vibrant pink that totally matches the vibes for Fiesta.
Preparada
There are always lines for this fruity Smirnoff-based drink! Lucky for us, NIOSA unleashed the secrets behind the popular sipper so we could make it at home. You only need five ingredients, and you can even make it a mocktail by replacing the Smirnoff with Topo Chico.
