What's a good cocktail to go with Mexican food?

My friend asked me to make a cocktail for her husband's surprise birthday party, and she is having it catered with Mexican food. I'm looking for something a little more interesting than margaritas. Also, I think it might be fun to do something seasonal. Any good suggestions or recipes, seasonal or not? Thank you!What's a good cocktail to go with Mexican food?
How about a Pumpkin Margarita?



(pumpkin puree, agave nectar, lime, tequila, Crema鈥檚 signature spice blend, %26amp; white and black sesame seeds for rimming)



That will give you the Mexican food kick and a seasonal playfulness.What's a good cocktail to go with Mexican food?

How about a chelada / michelada.

It's like the Mexican bloody mary in which you mix beer + Clamato bloody mary mix.

I personally like it best with Bohemia, Negra Modelo or Indio but it goes well with lager (especially Pacifico or Dos Equis) as well.What's a good cocktail to go with Mexican food?
Tequila Sunrise? Make sure you have the grenadine.
