A CoronaRita is simply described as a margarita with an overturned bottle of Corona being poured into it. Sounds good, right?
Why not make your own at home? These CoronaRita Margarita Beer Cocktails involve placing a mini “Coronita” upside down into a slushy margarita. It’s the perfect choice when you can’t decide between a margarita or an icy cold Corona…

CoronaRita FAQ
CoronaRita and Coronita Beer Tips
- If you want the 7 oz Coronita “little beers” to be nice and icy cold, pop them in the freezer for 20 minutes just before serving.
- Some margarita glasses have a dip in them that perfectly holds the little Coronitas. I found my glasses and pitcher at Home Goods, and they were quite affordable.
- Large Corona extra® beers would tip over most glasses, so it’s best to use the little 7 oz Coronitas for this cocktail and use the specially made Coronita clips.
- Corona sells clips online that are designed to hold beers in glasses specifically for this purpose. While my glasses worked fine, it’s always a good idea to test them before your party. The beer can make the glass a bit unstable, so drink with care!
