FAQ's

Origins history icon

What is the inspiration behind the Chicolada™ cocktail?

The Chicolada™ cocktail draws its inspiration from the famous Michelada, a traditional Mexican cocktail made with beer and various spices, sauces, and lime juice. The Chicolada™ is a non-alcoholic version of this beloved beverage, created as a tribute to Monterrey, Mexico. By replacing the cerveza with Topo Chico sparkling mineral water, it offers a refreshing, effervescent mocktail that makes for an excellent alternative for those looking to enjoy the flavors of a Michelada without the alcohol content. This beverage serves as a delightful homage to Monterrey's rich cultural and culinary traditions.

Ingredient specifics icon

What makes the Casa Cobre Watermelon Real Sangrita special in the Chicolada™?

Casa Cobre Watermelon Real Sangrita is a unique take on the traditional Mexican sangrita, a non-alcoholic accompaniment to tequila. Instead of the usual tangy mix of tomato, orange, and lime, this version incorporates the summery flavor of watermelon, adding a sweet and refreshing twist. In the Chicolada™, this ingredient pairs harmoniously with Topo Chico sparkling mineral water, creating a balance of sweet and spicy — a combination that is both invigorating and distinctive. The complex flavors of the Casa Cobre Sangrita add depth to the mocktail, elevating it beyond a simple sparkling water drink.

Non alcoholic variations icon

How does the Chicolada™ compare to other non-alcoholic beverages?

The Chicolada™ stands out among non-alcoholic beverages due to its inventive mix of flavors and cultural roots. Unlike plain sodas or fruit juices, it offers a sophisticated blend of sparkling Topo Chico mineral water and the spicy-sweet profile of Casa Cobre Watermelon Real Sangrita. This combination makes it a complex and satisfying option for those who prefer to avoid alcohol but still want something with flair and flavor. Its resemblance to the Michelada, a popular alcoholic Mexican beverage, means that it can be enjoyed in a similar manner during social gatherings, enhancing its appeal as a non-alcoholic alternative.

Occasion suitability icon

When is the best time to enjoy a Chicolada™?

The Chicolada™ is incredibly versatile when it comes to occasion suitability, making it perfect for a variety of settings. Its refreshing and unique flavor profile makes it an excellent choice for warm weather occasions such as picnics, barbecues, or poolside gatherings. Furthermore, its non-alcoholic nature means it can be enjoyed at any time of day, from brunches to evening get-togethers. Whether you are looking for a mocktail to serve at a family-friendly event or a refreshing drink to unwind with, the Chicolada™ provides a refreshing and satisfying experience suitable for any occasion.

Food pairings icon

What foods pair well with the Chicolada™?

The Chicolada™ pairs excellently with a range of foods, thanks to its spicy and sweet flavor profile. It complements traditional Mexican dishes such as tacos, enchiladas, and quesadillas, enriching the overall dining experience with its refreshing contrast to richer, spicier flavors. Additionally, it goes well with grilled meats and seafood, making it a fitting choice for barbecues and summertime cookouts. Its sparkling, effervescent character can also cut through rich or creamy dishes, providing a palate-cleansing effect that enhances both the flavors of the dish and the drink itself.
