Here Are 6 Cocktails That Will Make You Say 'Olé'

By Jacqueline Cucco | May 5, 2016 | Food & Drink

Share

Cinco de Mayo is a great excuse to put your party hat on and down a few margaritas. Here, we give you six tequila-based cocktails to spice up your fiesta without being basic.

Jalapeño Margarita from El Camino Real Restaurant

El Camino Real Jalapeno Margarita

Pair your fiery personality with the jalapeño margarita made with Cazadores reposado tequila, lime juice, simple syrup, orange liqueur, and fresh jalapeño slices for that ultimate kick. Enjoy food and drink specials all day and night for Cinco de Mayo, plus tequila flights to keep the party going. 1040 N. Second St., 215-925-1110

Regal from Loco Pez

Loco Pez Regal Margarita

For something slightly fruity that isn't boring, we suggest heading to this quirky taqueria for the Regal, a vibrant coral-colored libation made with Sauza Hornitos blanco tequila, lime, salt, and grapefruit soda for a fizzy and tart take on the margarita. Don't discount the street food classics, which will keep you perfectly satisfied while you drink. 2401 E. Norris St., 267-886-8061

Strawberry Basil Margarita from Xochitl

Xochitl Strawberry Basil Margarita

Despite a menu filled with a dozen margaritas, the strawberry basil margarita—mixed with blanco tequila, fresh basil, strawberry purée, simple syrup, and fresh squeezed lime—is a great choice if you're craving something sweet and refreshing. This intimate eatery won't hold back when it comes to getting into the spirit of Cinco de Mayo by celebrating twice: once on May 5 starting at 4 p.m. and again on May 7 starting at 1 p.m., which will include food and drink specials and a tequila gift basket raffle featuring a bottle of Patrón for the lucky winner. 408 S. Second St., 215-238-7280

Passion Fruit Margarita at Lolita

Lolita Passion Fruit Margarita

Ideal for the indecisive drinkers is this modern Mexican resto, which offers a diverse beverage menu full of innovative cocktails made with fresh ingredients, like the passion fruit margarita that's served up with tequila blanco, passion fruit purée, sour limonada, and a sprig of thyme. Bonus: They also offer sangrita, sangria, tequila flights, mezcal, and modern Mexican dishes so you can try them all. 106 S. 13th St., 215-546-7100

There Is No Dana, Only Zuul from The Franklin Bar

Franklin Bar There Is No Dana

Enter this seductive underground bar for a taste of something compelling with an order of There Is No Dana, Only Zuul. It’s not your typical margarita since it's made with blanco tequila, lime cordial, cream, graham cracker, cinnamon, and frothy egg white, but it makes for a sophisticated sip that is both sweet and creamy, and definitely not typical by any means. 112 S. 18th St., 267-467-3277

Black Rose from Square 1682

Square 1682 Black Rose

Step inside this eatery and bar inside Hotel Palomar Philadelphia for a taste of their black rose cocktail, which is a bold mix of Milagro reposado, lime, and blackberry-rosemary syrup for a simple yet potent drink that packs quite the punch for your Cinco de Mayo festivities. 121 S. 17th St., 215-563-5008
