eating Mexican food.  But are you eating authentic Mexican food or not, you will know this 
only after tasting it.

Define Authentic Mexican Food
The food that is vibrant, fresh, delicious, and 
fun but not  compromised on the flavors and 
ingredients.
The Mexican food is made using herbs, spices, a lot of 
vegetables,  chilies (fresh, smoked, dried, and pickled), 
oregano, coriander also  known as cilantro in North 
America, cocoa and cinnamon. These  ingredients are 
widely used in almost every Mexican dish.
So, if you are having Mexican food but it does not 
contain the  ingredients mentioned above, then my dear 
friend, you are  definitely at the wrong place, probably 
eating food that is just given  the name Mexican and has 
nothing to do with Mexican flavors.
Why Mexican Food is the Best?
Mexican food is popular because of its flavors and ingredients. Of course! This may sound 
obvious but what  really makes it the best is the healthy and fresh ingredients such as 
avocados, chiles, beans, tomatoes, other  vegetables, and different types of meat like beef, 
pork, chicken, fish, rabbit, lamb, among others in tacos.
No matter which Mexican food you would want to eat being at the best Mexican restaurant 
in Hong Kong, you  would certainly not want to have it without the Mexican drinks. Right?
If the food is Mexican, the drinks must also be Mexican – this way you will get the feel 
of being in Mexico.  Now let us see the drinks that go really well with the Mexican food 
and you must definitely try when at a  Mexican restaurant.
Paloma Cocktail
One of the most classic Mexican cocktails is Paloma!
This is an easy bubbly cocktail. It combines tequila with 
grapefruit.  This drink is perfect for happy hour drinks, 
or water it down and it  can also be taken as a brunch 
drink.
The Paloma is traditionally made using grapefruit soda, 
but Paloma  cocktail is made using grapefruit juice and 
soda water.
Classic Margarita
Of course, everyone knows this. The margarita is the 
best known of  all Mexican cocktails!
Did you know the classic recipe has no added simple 
syrup? Here is  how you can make it. Use just three 
ingredients and a salt rim. A  true perfection.
Classic Chelada
If you crave a refreshing beer cocktail, then this will 
definitely be  irresistible as it is easy to mix up?
Try a Chelada! The Chelada is another type of cervesa 
preparada. It  is a beer cocktail or “prepared beer” in 
Spanish.
This drink features Mexican lager with lime, versus the 
Michelada  which is like a Bloody Mary made of beer.
Top it off with a salty rim and it is perfect for any time. 
A laid-back  brunch, cocktails on the patio, or a dinner 
of shrimp tacos, have it  when you want it.
Michelada
The Michelada is a spicy Mexican beer cocktail. It is made with beer, tomato juice, lime 
juice and hot sauce.  It is a sort of combination between a Bloody Mary and a beer 
margarita!
The best part is the glass rim – it is a mix of Old Bay, chili powder and celery salt which brings 
a salty, savory flair.  The flavor is just right for a lot of occasions, like from summer afternoon 
drinks or a Mexican-themed brunch.
Cantarito
Want a good margarita or Paloma? It’s here – A Mexican cocktail that you will love – the 
Cantarito!
This tasty tequila drink is similar to a Paloma, but it is made with more citrus juices such as 
oranges, lemons and lime juice.
Layer it in a traditional clay cup, and the effect will be stunning. This drink is light and refreshing. It tastes even better sipped out 
of a cold clay rim. If you do  not have one, then you can even serve it in a highball glass too.
Carajillo
This is a Mexican cocktail can be taken as an after-dinner drink.
This cocktail is popular in Spain and Latin America. But obviously even more in demand in Mexico where you will easily find it 
being made with Licor 43.  This drink will give you a sweet vanilla, chocolate and citrus taste from the Licor and the bitter, rich 
notes from the coffee. It is truly a match made in  heaven!
Mexican Mule
This Mexican cocktail is bold, bubbly. It is perfect to spice up your next gathering! It is not a traditional Mexican drink, but this 
tequila spin on the Moscow  Mule is absolutely worth trying. I must say, it might be better than the classic.
The way the bite of the tequila combines with spicy ginger – bet it, you will not stop yourself from taking another sip.
Drinks normally go well with every Mexican dish?
With Mexican food, normally people prefer having beer, 
margarita  or michelada (it is a beer cocktail made with 
lime juice, hot sauce,  Worcestershire sauce and spices. 
These drinks are the best and are  widely used. These 
are obvious go-to beverage for almost every  Mexican 
dish. So, in case, you feel lost and are unable to decide  
which drink to order, then just choose anyone among the 
three and  you will have a great time with the great 
Mexican cuisine.
What is a traditional Mexican drink?
Margarita is a traditional Mexican drink. This is Mexico’s 
most well-  known cocktail. It is a simple combination of 
tequila, triple sec, and  lime juice. It is served with salt 
on the rim of the glass.
Either consumed on the rocks or frozen, margaritas are 
now  emblematic not only of Mexico, but of fiestas 
around the globe.  What would be a food without a 
good drink? How would you  swallow it down without 
having glasses to cling with your pals and  cheer over 
your favorite dish?
Food without a drink is like having Mexican food 
without cheese,  and other essentials …Flat, dull, and 
boring.
But if you are at Mint and Basil, the best Mexican 
restaurant in  Hong Kong, then your food, drinks, and 
the surroundings will be  full of energy, unlimited fun, 
frolic, and flavours.
