Tequila Corralejo

When it comes to Super Bowl cocktails, you’ll often find fun and colorful recipes to add a bit of pizazz to your day — though a theme you might not necessarily consider is Mexican-inspired margaritas, making use of tequila. But these recipes from Tequila Corralejo have the colorful look and popular flavors to make them idea sippers for a Game Day party.

There’s the Malbec Margarita in Kansas City’s red, or the Al Pastor Margarita in bright green for Philadelphia Eagles fans. And if you’re on the fence, then there’s a simple but delicious Mexican Mule for anybody to enjoy.

The country of Georgia, while small, has an outsized influence in the world of alcohol. Home to one of the oldest winemaking traditions in the world, Georgian ingredients and spirits are distinctive, as complex as any in the better-known regions of Italy or France. Georgian spirits and wines are also excellent for cocktails, and while relatively new to the world of modern cocktails and mixology, some Georgian restaurants are implementing innovative takes.

At Chama Mama, a local chain of Georgian restaurants in New York City, beverage director Lasha Tsatava is fully embracing this combination of tradition and innovation. "At Chama Mama," Tsatava explains. "We take pride in bringing the rich, seasonal flavors of Georgia to life in every corner of our menu, and our cocktail offerings are no exception."
