Throw a Cinco de Mayo party at home with NYC’s best Mexican takeout and Fever-Tree cocktails

The salty/spicy/sweet/sour combination that comes to life at the crossover of a classic margarita and Vida Verde’s juicy and succulent al pastor—which is topped with a mouthwatering trinity of grilled guajillo chili pineapple and avocado habañero and serrano tomatillo salsas—is nothing short of perfection. Mix 4 oz. Fever-Tree Classic Margarita Mix with 1.5 oz. tequila or mezcal and shake with fresh lime juice and agave syrup to taste; serve up or over ice with a salted rim. Vida Verde

Whether you’re looking for an easy yet delicious way to feed a crowd, or just craving brunch for dinner, there’s little that matches a few breakfast burritos (pro tip: they’re ½ price all day on Sundays) from this East Village favorite and a couple pitchers of bloody Marias. Mix 4 oz. Fever-Tree Classic Bloody Mary mix and 1.5 oz. tequila or mezcal and lightly shake with lemon juice, hot sauce and/or horseradish to taste; serve over ice. Empellón Al Pastor

Enchiladas are the ultimate comfort dish, making them a superb choice for a takeout meal (and excellent leftovers). Frescos’ chicken tinga enchiladas are born from a rich and hearty slow-cooked stew and smothered in a blend of four melty cheeses, making for a perfect pairing with a spicy margarita. Add two diced jalapenos (including seeds) to Fever-Tree Classic Margarita mix and shake; strain liquid from jalapeno pieces (let the mixture sit, refrigerated, for up to 24 hours for maximum flavor infusion) and blend three parts infused mix with one part tequila or mezcal and shake with fresh lime juice and agave syrup to taste; serve over ice with a Tajin rim.

Otto’s arrived in NYC in 2013, amidst the city’s Mexican street food renaissance. Despite the competition that arrived with that wave, Otto’s carne asada is amongst the very best in Gotham. Order your fill of the rich and meaty tacos to enjoy with a Mexican mule (or three). Mix two parts lime juice with one part tequila, add agave or simple syrup to taste, stir, then top with a generous pour of Fever-Tree Ginger Beer; serve over ice. Otto’s Tacos

If you’re looking for a tropical escape without leaving the city, ceviche is the perfect dish to take you away. Los Mariscos’ menu offers ceviche three delicious ways, but if you’re a true seafood lover, go for the Especial, which includes a kaleidoscope of fresh shrimp, scallops, clams and octopus. Pair it with a Paloma: mix two parts Fever-Tree Classic Margarita Mix with one part tequila and shake with fresh lime juice and agave syrup to taste, then top with one part Fever-Tree Sparkling Pink Grapefruit; serve over ice.

A true grassroots movement, Factory Tamal has evolved from home operation to brick-and-mortar outpost over the past decade. Since then their offerings have expanded to include eight-plus different tamales, all of which pair beautifully with a refreshing citrus ranch water. Mix two parts lime juice with one part tequila, stir, then top with one part Fever-Tree Sparkling Lime & Yuzu; serve over ice. Factory Tamal
