Notes

The Story Behind the Drink The Mexican Bulldog's name comes from its "bite"—the potent mix of a margarita and a full beer. It's also known as a "Coronarita" or "Beerita." The drink's modern origin is often credited to bartenders in resort towns like Whistler and Cancun who were looking for a fun, creative way to serve a refreshing cocktail. The sight of the upturned beer bottle quickly made it an iconic and highly popular drink.
Tips for a Perfect Bulldog
  • The Bottle Trick: The physics of the upturned beer bottle are what make this drink so fun. As you drink the frozen margarita, the beer slowly flows out of the bottle, keeping your drink perfectly balanced and refreshing until the very last sip.
  • Customize Your Margarita: While our recipe is a classic, you can play with the flavors. Try a mango or strawberry-flavored margarita mix for a sweeter, fruitier twist.
  • Go Big or Go Home: This drink works best in a large, sturdy glass. The smaller, "Coronita" beer bottles are ideal for this, but a full-sized bottle can be used with a larger glass or a mini pitcher.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
  • Is this a strong drink? Yes! The Mexican Bulldog is essentially two drinks in one. With a full serving of tequila and a full beer, it is a very potent cocktail and should be consumed slowly and responsibly.
  • What kind of beer should I use? A light, crisp Mexican lager like Corona is the traditional choice. Its clean flavor won't overpower the taste of the margarita.
