Cocktails to serve with Mexican food

Good cocktails with Mexican food are tequila based, citrus forward drinks like a classic Margarita, plus lighter options such as Tecate Paloma.

Mexican dishes often bring chilli heat, bright lime, salsa freshness and rich toppings, so cocktails that echo citrus and keep a clean agave backbone tend to slot in neatly. The Margarita is the obvious go to: tequila, orange liqueur and lime give you snap and lift that works brilliantly across tacos and share plates. If you want the same idea in a bigger, bolder format, the Mexican Margarita keeps that straight talking balance with a simple salt accent.

For something more relaxed and sessionable with food, Tecate Paloma stretches the tequila and grapefruit idea into a long, beer forward drink, which can feel at home with casual Mexican spreads.

If you are after a softer, celebratory style, the Moët Margarita brings sparkle while staying in the same tequila and citrus family.

A few more from this list, depending on the mood:

Mexican Mojito for a minty, lime bright highball
Spanish Margarita if you prefer a sweeter twist
