If you love to entertain and want to whip up some instant fun, Jarritos fruity cocktails are so easy to make, you'll have plenty of time to spend with your guests. This is what I'll be serving up to visitors during the Labor Day weekend while we hang by the pool and soak up the last of the summer sun.
Best Jarritos flavors to use
Not sure what flavor you like? Below are the Jarritos flavors I like to keep in the pantry, rotating flavors when I go to the store to restock, for making this quick cocktail. If you don't have a Mexican market or local store that sells these sodas, you can also purchase Jarritos online.
- Strawberry (fresa)
- Tamarind (tamarindo)
- Mandarin Orange (mandarina)
- Pineapple (piña)
- Guava (guayaba)
- Lime (limón)
- Mango
- Passion fruit (maracuyá)
- Watermelon (sandía)
- Fruit Punch (tutti frutti)
Variations on this drink
For those who like to play bartender, you can try mixing some of the Jarritos soda flavors to make more unique cocktails, such as pineapple-guava, strawberry-lime, mandarin-pineapple, or strawberry-mango. If you like, you can also substitute light-colored rum for the tequila, or make it more tropical and use Malibu coconut-flavored rum.
Other quick and easy cocktails
- A paloma is always a crowd-favorite, and you can use either fresh grapefruit juice, Jarritos toronja (grapefruit flavor), or Squirt to achieve a similar taste. Add salt or sugar to the glass rim for a special touch.
- Spanish tinto de verano is a quick cocktail you can mix up that also includes fruit-flavored sodas, along with red wine and sweet vermouth.
- An Iced Carajillo is a simple and tasty cocktail that's popular in Mexico and only has two ingredients.
- Margaritas are always in style, too! You can make frozen or on the rocks. My personal favorites include a mandarin orange margarita, watermelon margarita, and a red prickly pear margarita.
