Who said it’s impossible to party while on a diet? For preparation, you need watermelon, cucumber, mint leaves, lemon juice, sugar, and ice cubes.
3. Paloma
Another well-known Mexican beverage is the Paloma cocktail. Paloma is distinguished by its bubbly, fruity flavor, which originates from grapefruit soda, one of its key components.
This delicious drink has been around since the 1920s, when it was created by a bartender named Jose “Pancho” Feliciano.
Palomas is usually served in tall glasses filled with crushed ice. However, you can use a shaker instead. It would help if you had grapefruit juice, club soda, grenadine, and a maraschino cherry for its preparation.
4. Sangría
Sangria is another famous Mexican drink that originated in Spain. It is made with red wine, orange liqueur, brandy, and sometimes cinnamon.
It is often served chilled and accompanied by tapas. You can serve sangria, either hot or cold. To do so, add a little bit of warm water. For its preparation, you need red wine, orange liquor, brandy, and spices like cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.
5. Mojito
Mojitos are very popular in fruit Mexican drinks and Cuba. They are made with rum, mint leaves, and freshly squeezed lime juice.
They are typically served in tall glasses filled up with crushed ice. The best way to enjoy this refreshing drink is to take a big gulp and slowly sip it. The ingredients include, among others, white rum, mint leaves, lime juice, and sparkling mineral water.
6. Ponche
Do you believe it has a “punch”-like quality? You made a good approximation. Furthermore, Ponche is the name for fruit punch in Mexico.
It is typically served around the holidays and gets its flavorful freshness from using seasonal fruits, primarily tejocotes.
Additionally, it can be prepared the day before your event and warmed up just before serving. Others prefer the cold. Family get-togethers are a fantastic time for Mexican ponche. The ingredients include, amongst others, pineapple, mango, guava, papaya, and coconut milk.
7. Charro Negro
This Mexican twist on the traditional rum and Coke combines lime juice, gold tequila, and cola as a wonderful mid-afternoon beverage. You can prepare it at home by mixing all the ingredients in a blender.
8. Mangonada (Mango Chamoyada)
Mangonada is also one of the most amazing fruity Mexican drinks. This drink is so exquisite that even if it were the worst thing I’ve ever consumed,
I’d still love it. Happily, mangonada tastes fantastic as well. The swirls of yellow, orange, and red are beautiful.
Additionally, it’s quick to prepare (15 minutes), flavorful, and surprisingly satisfying. Additionally, you’ll like eating the fruit bits mixed in, making it both a drink and a snack.
It is pretty sweet and tart because of the lime and mangoes, but you’ll also add some chile lime seasoning to it, adding some heat.
9. Tepache
Tepache, a fermented but alcohol-free Mexican beverage, is created from pineapple peel and core—not the flesh. Therefore, keep the tinned pineapple slices.
Furthermore, in Mexico, street sellers sell tepache in plastic cups as you stroll the streets. Meanwhile, a relatively simple fermentation process makes Tepache.
Therefore, there is no need for elaborate machinery. In addition, the solution is a clay pot or a wooden barrel.
Make the fermentation at least two or three days in advance because it is a necessary stage in creating a real tepache.
10. Strawberry Horchata/Orxata
Horchata, also known as Arcata, is a popular Mexican beverage that quickly gives you energy. It has a creamy texture and is made of rice.
Furthermore, it used to be homemade, but nowadays, you can buy packaged horchata cocktails and horchata syrups.
Additionally, making this delectable beverage from scratch isn’t too tricky, and adding strawberries makes it a tasty and healthful summer beverage. Nothing less than strawberry milk may be found in strawberry horchata. Say “Pretty in pink!” instead.
11. Cinco De Mayo
Next on our list of Mexican Fruity Drinks is Cinco de Mayo. Cinco de Mayo is celebrated every year on May 5
Furthermore, it commemorates the victory over the French army at the Battle of Puebla during the Mexican War of Independence.
It was a significant turning point in the war against Spain. Additionally, the battle took place on May 5, 1862.
There is no better way to celebrate Cinco de Mayo than to sip on this short cocktail made with Tequila, lime juice, and grenadine.

15. Daiquiri
Daiquiri is also one of the most amazing fruity Mexican drinks you should try. Mexican drinks come in a variety of flavors and styles, including daiquiri.
Rum, lemon juice, and a sweetener are the primary components of an authentic Mexican daiquiri. Additionally, there are also fruity variations like the avocado and banana daiquiris.
If you want a frozen daiquiri instead of a liquid cooler, there is another version that employs crushed ice. Different liqueurs are used to make frozen daiquiris.
Furthermore, if someone tries to steer you away from daiquiris by calling them girlie drinks, avoid them since you might miss out on the refreshment this traditional offers you. The cocktail is simple to make. As long as there are no strawberries, daiquiris are not girlie.
16. Mexican Candy
The fruity, moderately Mexican solid candy shots are not widely known. As they are not hefty, you can take multiple pictures.
Additionally, you only need Tequila, watermelon juice, and a dash (or several dashes, depending on how hot you want). The shots are ready for a shoot after a good shake with ice.
A two-dimensional flavor is produced by the hot sauce’s spice and the sweetness of the watermelon. Mexican candy is typically served in shots, but you can drink it in a pint. To pour a drink, there are no rules!

We have a sweet treat for you if spicily flavored Mexican alcoholic beverages aren’t your taste.

18. White Wine Citrus Sangria
Red wine is used to make traditional sangria, as you already saw in the traditional recipe. Enjoy this cocktail with a twist by using white wine instead of red.
Without rushing on your big day, you may prepare it in large quantities and preserve it in the refrigerator.
Meanwhile, this light white wine citrus sangria can be served elegantly. Although you can use any fruit, pineapple gives it a fruitier flavor.
However, ensure the fruits are still fresh and use the amounts listed in the recipe. This recipe demonstrates how brandy may enhance wine cocktails.
