Tequila Pitcher Drink Recipes

Pitcher Cocktails are a host’s best friend. Make-ahead friendly, these delicious drinks won’t keep you tied to the bar cart for the whole party! From sangria and spritzes to juleps, margaritas, and more, I’ve got summer’s best pitcher cocktails (and mocktails) ready and waiting…

Vodka is the most versatile liquor in the bar. Because it has such a clean, neutral flavor, vodka is the perfect base for all sorts of pitcher cocktails. Use vodka when you really want the natural flavors of your drink to shine through, especially light fruity flavors.

Rum is one of my favorites, perfect when you want a summery, island vibe for your pitcher cocktail. From crisp mojitos to exotic tikis, there’s a rum drink for every mood.

Easy Pineapple Jalapeño Pitcher Margaritas

Whiskey might not sound like your summertime alcohol of choice, but it makes a great and unexpected addition to a fruity sangria, and forms the base for the classic mint julep!

A pitcher of margaritas is about as classic as it gets, so be sure you’ve got an ample supply of tequila on hand before your next gathering. Tequila works great with summer fruit like melons, mangoes, guava, and berries, as well as citrus of all kinds.

Wine is the the perfect canvas for a cooling summer drink. Just about any fruit you can think of makes a delicious, cooling sangria, and the great thing is you can use an inexpensive red, white, or rosé (traditional is red.) As a rule the whites do well with citrus, and the rosés and reds are wonderful with berries and stone fruits ~ but mix and match!.

Margaritas are undoubtedly already on your Cinco de Mayo menu (including a fruity variation or five), so we thought we would offer up a few

Peach Tequila Sunrise Punch

Refreshing tequila-based drinks to try. All of these cocktails can be easily mixed in a big batch, so they're ready for as big a party as you decide to throw.

Salmon-hued and packed with a nice punch, this cocktail is a warm weather option for Negroni lovers. Tequila pairs beautifully with bitter ingredients like Campari, and an aged tequila lends depth. Fresh tangerine juice adds sweetness and just the right amount of bright acidity to keep everything fresh and lively.

This super-easy pitcher drink offers all of the refreshment of a bubbly shandy along with the tartness of a margarita. Reposado tequila is perfect for this cocktail. Aged longer than a silver tequila, but without the full-blown depth of an añejo, reposado tequila (we love Gran Centenario) has the character that you need to stand up to the addition of beer but without stealing the show.

Easy White Christmas Margarita Recipe

Fresh juice is the way to go when you're mixing one or two cocktails, but when I'm looking for a quick pitcher full of drinks for a thirsty crowd, frozen limeade is a compromise I'm willing to make. The addition of beer adds the slightest effervescence and savoriness that makes your mouth water and mimics a lightly salted margarita.

Since there is still some great citrus around to be taken advantage of, I figure it should be snapped up and juiced immediately. In this pitcher cocktail, fresh tart pink grapefruit juice is front and center, paired with herbal silver tequila or a joven mezcal. Everything about this cocktail is young, tart, and sassy, just right for a Cinco de Mayo brunch party. The acidity of the grapefruit, the bright tequila, and the bitter bubbly tonic with salt will cut through a plate of chilaquiles like a diamond on glass.
