In this guide, we’ll explore everything you need to know about Coronita, including its alcohol content, flavour, serving style, and why it has become a popular choice for beer lovers across Australia.

What Is Coronita Beer?

Coronita is essentially the mini version of Corona Extra, produced by Grupo Modelo in Mexico.
The word “Coronita” literally means “little crown” in Spanish — a fitting name for its small but mighty personality.

While Corona Extra typically comes in 355ml bottles, Coronita is packaged in 210ml bottles, making it a light, refreshing beer for casual moments, BBQs, and beach days.

Despite the smaller size, the recipe is identical to Corona Extra — crisp, golden, and slightly citrusy.

Coronita Alcohol Content (ABV)

So, how strong is Coronita?

• Alcohol by Volume (ABV): 4.5%
  This is the same as Corona Extra, meaning Coronita packs the same refreshing punch, just in a smaller serving.
  
  

That makes it perfect for anyone who wants to enjoy the signature Corona taste without committing to a full-sized bottle.

Quick comparison:

What Does Coronita Taste Like?

Coronita offers the same crisp, refreshing flavour as Corona Extra:

• Light golden colour
  
  

• Mild malt sweetness
  
  

• Hints of citrus and corn
  
  

• Clean, dry finish
  
  

It’s a light lager that pairs beautifully with lime — that little wedge in the neck of the bottle enhances the zesty character and aroma.

How to Serve Coronita the Right Way

To enjoy Coronita at its best:

1. Chill it to around 3–5°C before serving.
   
   

2. Add a lime wedge into the bottle neck for an extra zing.
   
   

3. Enjoy it directly from the bottle — the small format makes it convenient and portable.
   
   

Because of its size, Coronita is also great for party packs, picnics, or summer events, where guests can easily grab a cold one without waste.

Coronita vs Corona Extra – What’s the Difference?

In some countries like Spain, the name “Corona” was trademarked, so the beer is officially sold as Coronita.
However, in Australia, you’ll often find both versions available — same beer, different size.
