1. The Bulldog
DON COQUI
This is the chicken soup of all drinks:
a mammoth goblet filled with two upside-down mini Coronas, an extra shot of tequila (poured into what looks like a neon green test tube), and a com- bination of Coqui Mango and Coqui Caliente, the restaurant’s flavored rum mixtures (strawberry and mango).

4. Mango Margarita
MANGO CAFÉ
Warning: You’ll want to sip this slowly.
This chilly thirst-quencher may look like a colorful slushie, but it’s actually an icy wonder of mango purée, tequila, Triple Sec, lime juice, and sour mix that goes down easy on a hot day. Order
