We make a Blood Orange Margarita with Lemongrass Simple Syrup and add a Coronita to make it a Coronarita! Our go-to Cinco de Mayo drink.

If you don’t know what a CoronaRita is, I weep for you, for you have never known its life-changing qualities.

To put it simply, a CoronaRita is a beer margarita or “Beergarita”, if you will. It may sound crazy like it couldn’t work, but anyone who has had one knows differently.

The slightly sweet, carbonated flavor of the Corona pairs perfectly with the tangy, fruity margarita. Almost like a margarita punch.

All the ingredients to make our Coronarita (Beer Margarita) Recipe: lemon juice, blood orange juice, lemongrass simple syrup, coronita, tequila, and Grand Marnier.

With Cinco De Mayo quickly approaching, I thought it would be the ideal time to make a CoronaRita with my own Janica twist. (Perhaps I also wanted an excuse to spend a workday downing beer and tequila. No shame.)

I absolutely love blood oranges and last week I bought 6 lbs from the Farmer’s Market. It only made sense to create a Blood Orange CoronaRita.

I’ve been really itching to use lemongrass in a recipe. It’s probably my favorite smell in the entire world. I used it to flavor the simple syrup for the CoronaRita.

My grocery store carries fresh lemongrass, but if yours doesn’t, try your local Asian store. If you can’t get any, just substitute traditional simple syrup.

And if you’re looking for the Coronita clips, I bought them on Amazon.

I hope you enjoy my Blood Orange CoronaRita with Lemongrass Simple Syrup recipe on Cino De Mayo, and any other day you need a Beergarita!

Ingredients

Blood Orange & Lemongrass Coronarita

  • 2 oz Lemongrass Simple Syrup, See recipe below
  • 4 oz Blood Orange Juice
  • 4 oz Lime Juice
  • 6 oz Tequila
  • 1 oz Grand Marnier
  • 4 Coronitas

  • 2 Cups Water

  • Start by making the Lemongrass Simple Syrup. (See instructions below) Let it cool before you make the CoronaRitas.

Lemongrass Simple Syrup

  • Chop each piece of Lemongrass into several chunks. Roll them with your knife while applying a little pressure to break them. This helps release their oils/flavor.
