There’s a fair chance that you’re already familiar with mezcal and tequila. According to Facts About Mexico, over 100 distillers are creating more than 900 different brands of tequila. These popular mainstays are served at practically every Mexican restaurant. Here's a list of six of the best Mexican drinks worth trying.

1. Tequila or Mezcal Flights

Easily some of the most famous drinks, tequila and mezcal flights are pretty straightforward. You can try different kinds based on our bartender's recommendations. Once you order your flight, ask for some salt and lime. If you haven’t tried this yet, it’s worth taking the time to do so at our restaurant.

2. A-Wevo

Of course, we can’t have a list of famous Mexican drinks without again mentioning tequila or mezcal. A-Wevo can use either one, along with triple sec, house-made sour mix, agave, and piquin salt. This fairly simple but very flavorful drink has a special sour kick that will keep you asking for more!

3. Paloma Aventurera

Some folks would rather skip the heaviness of a beer. If that’s you, then you should give a Paloma a go. This drink mixes tequila or mezcal, muddled grapefruit, cranberry bitters, lime, and agave to create a tart and tasty beverage. The Paloma is a perfect drink for a hot day.

4. Sangria

Blend white or red wine, brandy orange liqueur, and seasonal fruit and you get a sangria. Not a fan of blending things? Stop by your local Mexican restaurant and let them do the hard work for you.

5. Amante Picante

Craving something spicy? The Amante Picante mixes Patron Reposado, Cointreau, fresh lime, warm salt, and a mix of infused habanero, mango, and agave flavors. The spicy kick offers a great way to get your evening started or to drum up some energy at night.

6. Michelada

Want to try a different spicy drink? If so, you should order a Michelada. With this drink, we’ll add hot sauce and lime juice to your beer. It might seem a bit strange, but the hot sauce will add a nice kick to your beverage.
