Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (12 ounce) can frozen limeade concentrate, thawed
- 1 cup tequila (Blanco or Reposado)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 bottle (12 ounce) light beer, chilled
- Ice
- Lime slices for garnish
Instructions
- In a large pitcher, combine the thawed limeade concentrate, tequila, and water. Stir well until fully mixed.
- Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This helps the flavors meld.
- When ready to serve, gently pour the chilled light beer into the pitcher. Stir very slowly just once or twice to combine. Do not over-mix, or you will lose the fizz.
- Fill glasses with ice. Pour the beer margarita mixture over the ice.
- Garnish each glass with a fresh lime slice. Enjoy this taste of a cherished memory.
Notes
- Richard suggests using a crisp, light Mexican lager for the best fizz and flavor balance.
- If you prefer it sweeter, you can add 1/4 cup of simple syrup to the initial mixture.
- For a salt rim, moisten the rim of your glasses with a lime wedge and dip into coarse salt before pouring the drink.
