Frequently Asked Questions About Desperados Original Beer
What is Desperados Original Beer?
Desperados Original Beer is an alcoholic beer marketed with tequila flavour. Despite the name and flavour, it is sold as beer rather than as a tequila shot; the tequila-style note is part of its flavour profile.
Does Desperados Original Beer contain real tequila?
Desperados Original Beer is tequila-flavoured, but that wording alone does not confirm that it contains distilled tequila. Recipes can vary by market, so check the ingredient list on the bottle if you need to know whether tequila itself is included.
What does Desperados Original Beer taste like?
Desperados Original Beer combines a beer-like taste with a distinctive tequila-inspired, slightly sweet flavour. It tastes more characterful than a plain lager, but the flavouring does not make it taste exactly like drinking tequila.
What is the alcohol percentage of Desperados Original Beer?
Desperados Original Beer is 5.9% ABV. ABV means alcohol by volume, so the amount of alcohol you consume rises with the amount of beer you drink.
Is Desperados Original Beer a lager?
Desperados Original Beer is generally described as a tequila-flavoured beer based on lager. Its added flavour makes it different from an unflavoured lager, though it remains a beer rather than a tequila-based spirit drink.
How should you serve Desperados Original Beer?
Serve Desperados Original Beer chilled, straight from the bottle or poured into a glass. A lime or lemon wedge can complement its flavour; adding spirits is unnecessary and increases the drink’s total alcohol.
What food goes well with Desperados Original Beer?
Desperados Original Beer pairs well with spicy snacks, grilled foods, and salty party dishes. Its sweet, aromatic profile works especially well alongside crisp or spicy food.
Can you use Desperados Original Beer in a beer cocktail?
Yes, Desperados Original Beer can be used in simple beer cocktails with citrus or other mixers. Pour the beer in last and gently to limit foaming, and remember that mixing it with spirits raises the drink’s alcohol content.
How long does Desperados Original Beer last after opening?
Desperados Original Beer is best consumed soon after opening because it quickly loses carbonation and flavour. If you need to keep some, cover it, refrigerate it, and drink it promptly rather than storing it for several days.
Can Desperados Original Beer make you drunk?
Yes, Desperados Original Beer can make you drunk because it contains alcohol. The effect depends on how much and how quickly you drink, among other factors; do not drive after drinking, and alternate alcoholic drinks with water.

What is Desperados Original Beer?
Desperados Original Beer is a pale lager with tequila-inspired flavour; it is beer, not tequila. Its lively carbonation and sweet, slightly citrus-like notes give it a more pronounced flavour than a straightforward lager. It is typically served well chilled, often at casual get-togethers, barbecues and parties. Spicy snacks, grilled food and salty crisps are familiar pairings, while in many places it is also enjoyed on its own as a cold drink.
At 5.9% ABV, it is an alcoholic drink with little protein; the nutrition table lists 58 kcal per 100 g. For a lighter accompaniment, pair it with vegetables or a simple salad rather than fried snacks.
