Desperado is a popular Tequila cocktail that brings together the fantastic flavors of beer, 1800 Tequila, and limeade. When you sip on this delightful concoction, you'll experience a unique and refreshing taste like no other. The beer, usually a pale ale, adds a malty and slightly hoppy character that forms a solid foundation for the cocktail. Then, the 1800 Tequila joins the party, infusing the drink with its distinct agave spirit flavor, which brings a touch of earthiness and a subtle warmth. To balance it all out, the tangy and citrusy brightness of the limeade enters the scene, harmonizing with the tequila and completing the flavor profile. The result is a perfectly balanced blend of malty goodness, agave-infused charm, and zesty citrus, making Desperado a truly satisfying choice for cocktail enthusiasts.

To make your own Desperado cocktail at home, start by grabbing a beer mug and filling it halfway with your favorite pale ale or similar beer. Then, pour in a shot (around 1.5 ounces) of 1800 Tequila, allowing the flavors of the agave spirit to mingle with the beer. Next, add a splash of limeade, either store-bought or freshly squeezed lime juice mixed with a touch of simple syrup. Give it a gentle stir to blend the ingredients together. The beer and Tequila interact in a delightful way, as the malty and hoppy notes of the beer harmonize with the agave-infused richness of the Tequila. The beer's crispness provides a refreshing backdrop that complements the earthy and slightly sweet flavors of the Tequila. Together, they create a unique depth and complexity that perfectly complements the zesty brightness of the limeade. So go ahead, grab your beer mug, mix up a Desperado, and enjoy the dynamic interplay between beer and Tequila in this fantastic cocktail!

Desperado Recipe


Half fill a pint glass with beer. Add the tequila, then top off with limeade, and serve.

Desperado is a beer and tequila cocktail that probably has nothing to do with the Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek blockbuster but has a lot to do with the reference to the tequila flavoured pale lager named Desperados.



The Beer cocktail topped up with Tequila and Limeade mimics the ingredients of the Desperados beer and tastes like it too but is stronger than the Desperados beer, so be careful around this cocktail.
