Production & Heritage

Corona Refresca Mas is produced by Constellation Brands, the New York-based beverage conglomerate that has held the U.S. rights to the Corona brand since 2013. The liquid is brewed in Mexico using malt grains and flavored with natural mango and citrus ingredients. The "MAS" designation — Spanish for "more" — signals a step up in both ABV and flavor intensity from the standard Corona Refresca line, which sits at a lower 4.5% ABV. The 24 oz single-serve format distinguishes it from most competing flavored malt beverages that are typically packaged in 12 oz cans or slim cans, positioning it squarely for extended casual drinking occasions.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Ripe mango dominates the nose immediately, followed by a lighter citrus undercurrent. There is a faint malt sweetness in the background that rounds out the aromatics.

Taste: The entry is sweet and fruit-driven, with mango taking the lead on the palate. Mid-palate, citrus notes — reminiscent of tangerine and orange peel — create a brighter layer. The 8% ABV is surprisingly well-integrated, with only a mild warmth surfacing beneath the sweetness.

Finish: The finish is crisp and relatively clean for a flavored malt beverage at this strength. Lingering mango sweetness fades into a light, dry citrus note.

How to Drink Corona Refresca Mas Mango Citrus

Best served ice-cold, straight from the can or poured over ice in a tall glass. The high carbonation and fruit intensity make it a standalone sipper that does not require mixing, though it can anchor simple warm-weather drinks.

• Mango Citrus Spritz: Pour over ice with a splash of club soda and a lime wheel to temper the sweetness and stretch the serve.
• Tropical Shandy: Mix half-and-half with a light Mexican lager for a lower-ABV, layered fruit-and-malt combination.
• Frozen Mango Slush: Blend with ice and a squeeze of fresh lime juice for a quick frozen drink with built-in flavor and alcohol content.

Best For

• Backyard barbecues and pool days where a single large-format can is more convenient than multiple bottles
• Tailgating or outdoor events where portability and higher ABV per serving matter
• Warm-weather gatherings with guests who prefer sweet, fruit-forward drinks over beer or hard seltzer
• A grab-and-go option for beach trips or park outings

Why Corona Refresca Mas Mango Citrus?

The 24 oz large-format can is the clearest differentiator — most direct competitors package their 8% ABV flavored malt beverages in smaller single-serve containers. That extra volume, combined with the recognizable Corona branding and a straightforward mango-citrus flavor profile, gives it an immediate edge in convenience-driven purchase occasions. The liquid itself avoids the harsh alcohol bite that plagues many higher-ABV flavored malt beverages, keeping the fruit flavors front and center. For anyone seeking a bold, portable, tropically flavored drink with meaningful ABV, this expression delivers exactly what the "MAS" name promises — more.
