Part beer, part tequila, all delicious margarita. Our beer margarita is a refreshing concoction that’s unusual and delicious. To make it, beer and tequila are combined with limeade and sweet and sour mix to create one giant pitcher that serves six. It\u2019s so easy to stir up, you\u2019ll be sipping on a beer margarita on the rocks in no time.<\/p>\n
If desired, line the glasses with a salt rim: Use lime slices to moisten the rims of six margarita or cocktail glasses. Pour the salt on a plate. Hold each glass upside down, and dip the rims into the salt. Discard the remaining salt.<\/p>\n
In a pitcher, stir together the beer, limeade concentrate, tequila and sweet and sour mix until combined.<\/p>\n
Add ice cubes to the prepared glasses. Evenly distribute the beer margarita among them. Garnish each glass with a lime slice.<\/p>\n
We don\u2019t recommend storing leftover beer margaritas once the beer has been added as the carbonation will go flat. However, you can stir together the limeade concentrate, tequila, and sweet and sour mix, then store it in the fridge. Stir in the beer when you\u2019re ready to serve your beer margaritas.<\/p>\n You\u2019ll want a fairly light beer for a beer margarita. We recommend a Modelo, Bud Light Lime, Shock Top, Tecate or Corona (which gives this drink the iconic \u201cCoronarita\u201d name). Steer away from dark and robust beers, and don\u2019t even think about a Guinness.<\/p>\n Any great beer margarita has a bowl of fresh guacamole<\/a> or homemade salsa<\/a> trailing closely behind. A bag of the best tortilla chips<\/a> is essential. For a full meal, go for any one of our top 10 Mexican dinner recipes<\/a>, like slow-cooked carnitas<\/a> or garlic beef enchiladas<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A beer margarita gives you the casual ease of a beer with the citrusy pop of a margarita.
