7 Mexican Drinks Everyone Should Know (and Try!)

Margarita

We said we would show you Mexican drinks that aren't margaritas, but this recipe is just too good not to share! Since we don't want to buy sour mix, we mix fresh lemon and lime juice with sugar to make our own.

Michelada

It's really simple to make this spicy beer drink. Just add lime juice and your favorite hot sauce to your favorite Mexican beer. Adding a little Worcestershire sauce and umami-rich Maggi sauce will make it taste great.

Paloma

If you like tequila but don't like how sweet margaritas are, you'll love the paloma, which is related to the margarita but not quite as much. Sparkling grapefruit soda and freshly squeezed lime juice are what our recipe calls.

Horchata

Create this authentic Mexican beverage by blending white rice and almonds together. It s thick and creamy, and the sugar and cinnamon give the drink a sweet, comforting finish.

Bloody Maria

Even though we love traditional breakfast drinks, this one has a fun, one-of-a-kind Mexican twist. When mixed with tomato and hot sauce, vodka can get lost in the mix. But tequila really stands out in this drink.

Agua de Jamaica

Hippos that have been dried can be used to make tea. Hibiscus, water, sugar, and lime zest are the only things you need to make this tasty drink. On a hot day, it cools you down just like iced tea, but it doesn't have any caffeine.

Red River Margarita

It's possible that this dish is more Tex-Mex than Mexican, but there's no question that the spicy flavors in this Red River Margarita come from Mexican food. Add blood orange or grapefruit juice and don't forget the jalapeños!
