Planning a margarita night? Whether you're hosting a summer BBQ, a taco Tuesday, or a chill backyard hangout, your margaritas deserve some equally delicious food pairings. To make things easy, we’ve matched our Sol Squeeze margarita mixer flavors with crowd-pleasing snacks and bites. Even better? Most of these can be made with organic or seasonal ingredients, so you can sip and snack without compromise.
Classic Sol Squeeze Margarita Pairings: Zesty, Crisp, Citrusy
Chips & Guacamole
Creamy avocado meets tangy lime: a pairing made in heaven. Add chopped cilantro, garlic, or a touch of jalapeño for depth. Bonus points for organic avocados and fresh-squeezed lime (if you’re feeling adventurous, try throwing a splash of Sol Squeeze in instead of lime juice)! A classic snack for a Classic pouch.
Elote (Mexican Street Corn)
Grilled corn slathered with cotija, mayo, lime, and chili powder? Yes, please. The citrus in the classic margarita brightens every bite. A refreshing sip of a margarita helps keep that chili powder spice from becoming overwhelming, and the lime in the Elote pairs perfectly with the citrusy flavor profile of a Classic Margarita.
Shrimp Cocktail or Ceviche
Citrus-on-citrus magic. The clean, briny flavors of shrimp pair beautifully with the tart punch of lime margaritas. This perfect summertime treat is refreshing and in-season, so go grab some fresh shrimp for this salty, ocean-inspired treat.
Mini Chicken or Fish Tacos
Keep it simple with grilled meat or fish in organic corn tortillas, plus a squeeze of lime and homemade crema. Fresh, flavorful, and endlessly snackable. Check out our Beyond the Bar blog for a tip on how to bring your taco meat from good to mouth-watering!
Spicy Chili-Lime Nuts
The salt and heat from roasted peanuts or cashews enhance the acidity in your drink and add addictive crunch. For a salty/sweet flavor profile, try substituting sugar for salt on the rim of your margarita - salty, sweet, and citrusy, all in one!
Watermelon Margarita Pairings: Light, Fruity, Refreshing
Fresh Fruit with Tajín
Serve sliced watermelon, mango, or pineapple sprinkled with Tajín seasoning. It’s sweet, tangy, salty, and spicy, and it mirrors the flavors of the drink perfectly. If you want your margarita to perfectly match up with this spicy fruit snack, try rimming the glass with Tajín, too - like we did on our Spicy Pineapple Margarita!
Coconut Shrimp
The natural sweetness of watermelon pairs effortlessly with the crispy, tropical notes of coconut-crusted shrimp. Add a spicy dipping sauce for contrast. A refreshing flavor profile like this is hard to beat, especially in the summer heat.
Mini Veggie Tacos
Looking for something vegetarian? Grilled squash, zucchini, or corn with lime crema and queso fresco balances watermelon’s sweetness with earthiness and texture just as well as chicken or fish. Keep it light but tasty by orienting your meal around organic fruits and veggies.
Cheese Board with Goat Cheese & Chili Honey
A soft, tangy goat cheese layered with spicy honey or fruit preserves makes the perfect sweet-savory bite to match your cocktail. Charcuterie boards are IN this summer, and this mini version has everything you need to make a perfect marg/board duo.
Mango or Pineapple Salsa with Chips
This flavor-on-flavor combo is a fruity, spicy explosion that compliments the juicy watermelon notes. The natural sweetness of ripe mango or pineapple perfectly complements the juicy, refreshing notes of the watermelon mixer, while a touch of jalapeño, red onion, lime, and cilantro adds brightness and heat. Try Lime Tortilla chips for more citrus-y flavors!
Mango Margarita Pairings: Tropical, Mellow, Playful
Queso Dip
Warm, gooey cheese dip is rich enough to stand up to mango’s sweetness. Scoop with organic tortilla chips for salty contrast. Everyone loves queso, and paired with a Mango Margarita, you’ll taste a perfect mix of mellow tropical flavors and salty, gooey cheese.
Mini Spicy Pork or Chipotle Chicken Tacos
Heat + sweet = unstoppable. Spicy fillings like chorizo or chipotle pair beautifully with mango’s cool, tropical vibe. Try adding chopped mango or pineapple to the top of your mini spicy tacos for a bonus tie between the spicy taco meat and the mellow mango margarita!
Elote (again!)
Yes, again — but this time go heavier on the lime and chili powder to bring out mango’s fruitiness even more. Elote is so delicious that we had to add it twice. If it goes well with a margarita, we’ll be sure to highlight it as much as it deserves, and Elote may just be the perfect margarita pairing.
Chili-Lime Nuts
Crunchy and bold, this snack plays up the mango mixer’s tangy, tropical flavor while adding a savory kick. Think roasted peanuts, almonds, or cashews tossed in a zesty blend of chili powder, fresh lime zest, sea salt, and just a hint of sweetness (like honey or agave) to round it all out. 
Mango-Habanero Salsa & Chips
Double down on the mango and spice for a mouthwatering flavor bomb. Bonus if you make it fresh with ripe organic mangoes and red onion. Top with lime juice (or Sol Squeeze Classic) for an added citrusy hint of flavor, and don’t forget to try out Lime Tortilla Chips with this spicy salsa!
Bonus Combo:
Sol Squeeze Margarita Trio + Mini Taco Flight: Each margarita pairs well with a specific type of mini taco, so try serving up a flight of each to get a taste of every flavor!
