AUTHENTIC MEXICAN SHRIMP COCKTAIL (COCTEL DE CAMARONES ESTILO MEXICANO)

Authentic Mexican Shrimp Cocktail (Coctel de Camarones estilo Mexicano) image

I prepare this refreshing shrimp cocktail for my family a lot during the hot summer days. Being a Mexican family, we always add Mexican hot sauce (such as Valentina® or Tapatio®) and serve with saltine crackers on the side. The trick is to start with well-chilled shrimp, ketchup, and tomato juice cocktail so it can be ready after only chilling 1 hour in the fridge. Top with additional hot sauce and avocado slices if desired. Enjoy!

Tips:

For a more authentic Mexican Flag cocktail, use freshly squeezed lime juice and orange juice. You can also use store-bought juices, but the flavor will not be as good.
If you don't have grenadine, you can use another red-colored liqueur, such as Campari or Aperol.
To make a non-alcoholic version of the Mexican Flag cocktail, simply omit the tequila and vodka. You can also use sparkling water or club soda instead of the orange juice.
Garnish the Mexican Flag cocktail with a lime wedge and an orange slice. You can also add a sprig of mint or a cherry.

Conclusion:

The Mexican Flag cocktail is a refreshing and festive drink that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you are looking for a fun and delicious cocktail to serve, give the Mexican Flag a try!
