Put your cocktail-making skills to the test on Cinco de Mayo and mix up some new margaritas to add life to the party! While we love a good ol’ traditional margarita, sometimes you just need to mix things up. From prickly pear margaritas to margarita mimosas to smoked strawberry margaritas, we’ve got you covered with some tried-and-true – but oh, so new – margaritas that will make you a Cinco de Mayo star!
Frozen Mango Margaritas from Goya
For a tropical take on a classic Mexican cocktail, try this tangy Frozen Mango Margarita! Goya Foods’ Executive Chef Fernando Desa shows us how mango pulp can transform into a refreshingly tasty margarita with the addition of tequila, lemon juice, and orange liqueur.
Jalapeno Watermelon Margaritas
Fresh, sweet watermelon puree, lime juice, triple sec, and jalapeño-infused tequila make these margaritas super summery and delightful! It just doesn’t get any better than this!
Prickly Pear Margaritas from Boudro’s
This famous fixture on Boudro’s cocktail menu is now yours to savor at home! It’s one of our favorite margaritas and it certainly packs a punch. It’s the perfect drink to kick of Cinco de Mayo in style!
La Jefectia Margarita from URBE
This margarita comes from the imaginative cocktail team at URBE in Houston. This marg has tequila, triple sec, and lime juice, of course – but it also has cucumber vodka and cucumber mint syrup, which kicks this cocktail up to a whole new level! Garnish with tajin, a cucumber slice, and a sprig of mint for the perfect finish. Mmmm!
Spicy Pineapple Margarita Paletas
Tequila and a hit of fresh chile give these pineapple paletas a grown-up twist. While you can use fresh pineapple for these homemade ice pops, we like frozen pineapple because it’s easy and it’s going to be frozen again anyway! The flavor of the paletas will mellow in the freezer, so add more agave if desired. For a boozier treat, put a paleta in a rocks glass and pour your favorite tequila over. To make these kid-friendly, replace the ⅓ cup of tequila with fresh pineapple juice.
Spicy Strawberry Margaritas from Goya
This sensational spicy strawberry margarita from Goya Foods will become a new favorite. Muddled strawberries paired with sugar, lime juice and fresh jalapeño are a fun twist on a classic! Serve in salt-rimmed glasses with a fun garnish of strawberries, jalapeños and lime wheels.
Texas Margarita Mimosas from H-E-B
This refreshing margarita mimosa from H-E-B mixes up Tres Agaves Margarita Mix with grenadine, lime juice, fresh-squeezed orange juice, and some sparkling white wine like prosecco or moscato. This fusion cocktail is a great way to get the party started!
Ambhar Mojito Margaritas
This sophisticated recipe for a mojito margarita made with Ambhar tequila is sure to become a new favorite. A classic margarita gets a fresh new spin with mint leaves.
Smoked Strawberry Margarita from Z’Tejas
Smoky and sweet — what’s not to love about this Texan margarita from my friends at Z-Tejas in Austin? This crazy good cocktail is made with blanco tequila, mezcal, muddled strawberries and garnished with a lime wheel. Drink up!
La Gloria’s Morenita Margarita
La Gloria’s Chef Johnny Hernandez’s Morenita is a refreshing cocktail with tamarindo, fresh orange juice, Herradura Reposado tequila, and Cointreau with a chile-tamarind rim – perfect for sipping poolside. La Gloria is in San Antonio’s Pearl District. You might recognize Hernandez from Top Chef season nine!
