CoronaRita is simply defined as, “an overturned Corona bottle draining into a margarita.”
Works for me!
Make yours at home, these CoronaRita Margarita Beer Cocktails have a mini “Coronita” turned upside down into the slushy margarita. Perfect when you can’t decide between a margarita and an icy cold Corona!
This Corona margarita cocktail is THE answer on a hot day, special celebration, or game day. Perfect to serve at a backyard party, poolside this summer, or with any Mexican dish.

What You Need For CoronaRitas:

How to Make a CoronaRita (Corona Margarita) Step by Step
Anyone getting thirsty? Let’s make a CoronaRita!
Step 1: Run cut lime around rim of glass.
Step 2: Dip glass rim into sea salt poured on a small plate.
Step 3: Pour margaritas from blender (see below for Frozen Margarita Recipe) or pitcher into your glasses, carefully tip open Coronita (small 7 oz Corona beer) into the glass.
Step 4: That is it! Garnish your beer margarita with cut limes and colorful straws.
You can serve CoronaRitas in any glass, but the traditional Mexican handmade glasses are so beautiful! These have a dip in the bottom to hold the little 7 oz Coronita beers just right, but you can always tip the beer in and skip having it sticking out of the glass.
Homemade Margaritas:
- Juice the 5 limes and 1 orange, add to blender. (keep 2 extra for garnish)
- In a blender, add 8 cups ice and add the tequila, triple sec, and margarita mix.
- Blend until thick, add more ice if necessary.
- Pour into a serving pitcher.
CoronaRita and Coronita Beer Tips:
- If you want the 7 oz Coronita “little beers” icy cold, pop them in the freezer for 20 minutes right before serving.
- Some margarita glasses have a dip in them that holds the little Coronitas. I found my glasses and pitcher at Home Goods, they were quite inexpensive. Large Corona beers would tip over the glass, try to use the little 7 oz Coronitas for this cocktail or use the Coronita clips made for this drink!
- Corona sells clips online to hold beers in glasses just for this purpose, my glasses worked fine but test before your party. The beer can make the glass tippy so use some care!
What to Serve with a CoronaRita (Corona Margarita)
How about serving these CoronaRitas with tacos, enchiladas, ceviche, or guacamole and chips? In Southern California, our love of Mexican cuisine is part of our everyday lifestyle. And in case you are wondering, yes I consider Mexican my favorite food of all time.

Hi Shawnna, I would add 1/4 of a bottle of a regular beer into each serving glass first, then add your mixed margaritas. You can’t really go wrong. Enjoy!
How many ounces are those glasses? Regular size or a bit larger?
Hi Cheryl,
The glasses hold 14 oz. I got them at HomeGoods, but know you find them online on Amazon. Have fun making them!
The only place in town that served these went out of business and I was crushed! Thank you for posting this recipe. I love this drink and your recipe tastes just like the one the restaurant made — sooooooooo good. That video was adorable too. I just want to meet up with y’all and have some CoronaRitas and chili dogs! (And guac and chips, because … CoronaRitas.) Fiesta!
Seriously ONE of the best cocktails!! And fitting for the chaos right now!! Thanks for sharing this one!
