Hi, friends! Summer in Texas is almost upon us, and that means it’s about to get really HOT. Jacob and I thought it would be fun to put together a list of our favorite drinks that we love to have during the hotter months here in San Antonio. Even though we do drink these throughout the whole year, they’re all especially refreshing during the Summer. Most of these drinks have Chamoy and Tajin on them, which are two things that are really popular here in our city. Adding these to your drinks is optional, but I promise, you will love it!! I have also included our YouTube video in case you want to see us make these recipes! Enjoy!

Michelada

• 24 oz glass
• 1/4 of a lime
• Chamoy (linked here)
• Tajin (linked here)
• Zing Zang Bloody Mary Mix
• Chalula
• Mexican beer of your choice
• Ice
• Pickled Okra or Baby Pickles (optional)

Spread Chamoy around the rim of your glass and add Tajin on top of the Chamoy. Add 2 shots of Zing Zang to your glass, followed by a few drops of Chalula and your lime. Add ice and mix. Top off your glass with the beer and garnish with the okra or pickles.

Dressed Beer

• Mexican beer of your choice (or Bud Light)
• Twang Lime Beer Salt (linked here)
• Lime

Remove the cap of your beer bottle and squeeze a wedge of lime into the beer. Use that lime wedge to rub the lime all over the neck of the bottle, then add the lime wedge to the beer. Coat the lime beer salt all over the neck of your bottle. Lick off a little salt before each drink!

“Dirty” Dressed Beer

• Mexican beer of your choice (or Bud Light)
• Chamoy (linked here)
• Tajin (linked here)
• Lime

Remove the cap of your beer bottle and squeeze a wedge of lime into your beer. Drop the lime wedge into your bottle. Coat the neck of the bottle with Chamoy, then top with Tajin. Lick off a little Chamoy/Tajin before each drink!

Watermelon Margarita

• 8 oz glass or mason jar
• Chamoy (linked here)
• Tajin (linked here)
• Watermelon chunks (we buy ours already cut up)
• Limeade (my favorite brand is Simply Limeade)
• 1 shot of Tequila
• 1/2 a lime
• Ice

Squeeze half of a lime into your glass. Add 2 large chunks of watermelon and muddle with a fork or a muddler until the chunks are a little squishy and all of the juice is out. Coat the rim of your glass with Chamoy, then top with Tajin. Add a handful of ice. Add 1 shot of tequila. Fill the rest of your glass with limeade and mix. You can also double this recipe if you have a larger glass.

Frozen Strawberry Margarita

• 1 16oz bag of frozen strawberries
• 1 can of frozen limeade
• Chamoy (linked here)
• Tajin (linked here)
• 1 cup of tequila
• Blender
• Ice (optional)

Coat the rim of your glass with Chamoy, then top with Tajin. Set aside. Add a bag of frozen strawberries, a can of frozen limeade, and a cup of tequila to a blender. Blend until smooth. You can add more ice to the blender if the flavor is too strong or you want the margarita to be thicker. This recipe will serve 2-4 people, so if it’s just for you, cut this recipe in half like I did in the video!

I hope y’all enjoyed this!! If you plan to try any of these drinks, come visit me on Instagram and let me know! Or leave your comments here. Thank you so much for reading, and I’ll talk to y’all soon!!
