Your Next Drink: Mexican Bulldog

Mexican Bulldog: A favorite of all who can’t wait to have their margarita and Mexican beer in two separate drinks.

Primary Alcohol: Tequila and Corona

My experience with this drink precedes some of the best nights I’ve ever had, but my favorite comes from Cactus. A guaranteed way to make sure your group has fun is to start out with a few of these.

The initial taste is a little sour, or has an extremely strong taste of tequila, either way it is much more enjoyable once you get to start emptying the Corona into the margarita. It’s a little easier way to drink tequila for a sloppy night, as opposed to taking shots. Not always the best idea.

Appearance: Colored like the flavor of your margarita, paired best with lime, so generally green. Also depends on whether you have it blended or on ice.

Taste: Starts sour, or tasting like tequila. The lime flavor from the margarita mix is a natural and perfect complement to a Corona.

Advice: Try to count how many you have. These drinks rarely follow proper serving protocol, so you may getting warm in the face earlier than you had planned.
