The Strawberry Corona-Rita is a fun, fruity mashup of a classic margarita and a cold bottle of beer. It’s simple: you build it right inside the bottle after pouring out a little room. With tequila, triple sec, lime, and strawberry purée, it’s bold and refreshing without being too sweet. Perfect for backyard hangouts, beach days, or whenever you want something casual but still full of flavor.

Tasting Notes
The Strawberry Corona-Rita is light, tart, and refreshing with a bit of a kick. The mix of tequila and triple sec blends right into the beer, while the strawberry purée brings a little sweetness and a fruity twist. Lime juice keeps it bright, cutting through the sweetness just enough. The beer smooths everything out and makes the drink easy to sip. It’s crisp, cold, and doesn’t try too hard. You still taste the beer, but the added flavors give it more body and a little surprise in each sip.
Equipment and Glassware
You don’t need much for this one. You’ll need a jigger or small measuring cup, a small funnel (optional but helpful for pouring into the bottle), and a knife for slicing the lime garnish. No cocktail shaker, strainer, or fancy tools are required. The drink is built directly in the Corona bottle, which makes it fun and laid-back great for casual parties, barbecues, or just hanging out on the patio.
