Cinco de Mayo’s not over yet – in fact, it’s almost time for happy hour! So if some of your guests aren’t into cucumber, second time will definitely be a charm with this drink by Corzo Tequila!

Mexican Mixologist Junior Merino has put a new spin on the classic margarita with the Corzo La Futura, and he’s shared the recipe with us for you to try at home! Check it out below.

CORZO LA FUTURA

1 ½ Parts CORZO Silver

¾ Part Domaine de Canton Ginger Liqueur

¾ Part Pineapple Juice

1 Part Fresh Lime Juice

½ Part Agave Nectar

• Pour all ingredients in a shaker with ice, shake and pour into a margarita glass or rocks glass.
• Garnish with a slice of crystallized ginger and lemon peel.
• Drink with a side of cuban-style guacamole with pineapple, chile lime popcorn, or a bag of margarita-flavored chips!

I was New York City’s Union Prime restaurant for a Drinks With… interview with R&B singer LeMarvin, whose new single is entitled “Too Many Patrons.” So what better cocktails to drink than ones made with Patron Tequila?

Union Prime’s resident mixologist Alex Ott was in town for a few weeks, so he decided to stop by and mix up a few Patron cocktails for this special video edition of TGIF Cocktail. So click on the video player below to make Union Prime’s house cocktail, the Prime Thyme Martini, for yourself and your friends! But don’t make too many – it’s delicious, and you can’t taste the tequila, and we all know how those situations end up….

Okay, so this just looks like another martini or margarita. BUT have you ever seen a bottle of Corzo tequila? It’s pretty awesome. Like, if you go to a party, and you’re feeling like kind of a douche so you want everyone to know that this is NOT cheap tequila, you can totally pick up this bottle and everyone would be all, “ooh, he must have spent a ton.”

Except you so didn’t, cause you only spent, like, 45 bucks.

And if you’re kitschy, the bottle would make a pretty cool vase. But you’d have to really know how to place it – otherwise you just look like you’re using a tequila bottle as a vase.

THE CORZO PINATINI

1 1/2 parts Corzo Silver

1/2 part premium Triple Sec

1 1/2 parts pineapple juice

• Shake ingredients with ice and strain into a chilled martini glass.
• Garnish with a pineapple slice or orange twist.

I personally believe that all American citizens should be required by law to drink nothing but beer on Super Bowl Sunday. However, those who insist on going the cocktail route can and should at least opt for something tasty, yet strong and tough. Like a Steeler. *cough*

THE HALFTIME MARGARITA

1 1/2 ounces Tequila Don Julio Blanco
2 1/2 ounces pomegranate juice
2 teaspoons fine sugar
1/2 ounce lime juice
Sugar (to rim glass)
1 lime wedge

• Combine Don Julio Blanco, pomegranate juice, fine sugar and lime juice in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake well.
• Rim margarita glass with sugar.
• Strain ingredients into margarita glass.
• Garnish with lime.
• Try not to get into any fights after the game cause you’re all, tequila’d up and ready to scrap. But do laugh at the people puking up their beer and wings while you enjoy your heart-healthy (pomegranate, hello) cocktail from a quiet corner. Everybody wins!
