Mexican Candy Cocktail

Sweet & Spicy Margarita

Sweet Primero. Picante Después. Siempre Pocho.

This margarita comes in smiling and leaves a little fuego behind. Pocho Fino Mexican Candy brings that juicy watermelon sweetness, fresh lime keeps it bright, and jalapeño turns up the heat just enough to let you know it’s serious. It’s the kind of sweet and spicy that feels like a summer night with música on, tacos on the table, and one more round because why not. Pa’ Arriba, Pa’ Abajo, Pa’ Centro, Pa’ Dentro.

Pocho Pairings

Made to Drink With

Street Food Classics

Tacos al pastor:  

The pineapple and achiote echo the candy sweetness while the spice plays nice with the jalapeño heat. This is a power couple 

Carne asada tacos with guac:  

Smoky, savory beef + creamy avocado = balance. The margarita brings the sparkle, the taco brings the soul. 

Elote or esquites:

 Mayo, cotija, lime, chile. The drink cuts through the richness and doubles down on the chile-lime vibe.

Crunchy & Snackable

Chicharrones with salsa verde or chamoy:

Salty, crunchy, a little funky. The sweetness of the tequila keeps it from going too heavy.

Tajín-dusted watermelon or mango:

Sweet on sweet, spice on spice. Simple, nostalgic, undefeated.

Queso with roasted peppers:

Melted cheese cools the heat while the cocktail keeps things lively.

Heat Lovers Only

Birria tacos with extra salsa roja:

Rich, spicy, messy in the best way. The citrus and candy notes cut through the fat like a champ.

Hot wings with a chile-lime glaze:

Sweet heat meets sweet heat. Have napkins ready and another round poured.

Unexpected but Works

Fried chicken or chicken tenders with honey drizzle:

Sweet, salty, crunchy. The margarita turns this into a late-night favorite.

Spicy shrimp ceviche:

Bright, fresh, and briny. Lime on lime, heat on heat, pero bien balanced.
