2 Drinks In 1

I’ve been neglecting the “Happy Hour” part of this blog for FAR too long. We had a little Mexican themed dinner the other night and I decided to try a new drink to accompany our meal…and it was GOOD!  If you like beer…and margaritas…then you’re in for a treat!

 

BEER MARGARITAS

4 12oz. beers {I used Corona…mmmmmmm}

1 cup of tequila {I used Margaritaville Tequila Silver…it was all we had on hand!}

1 can of frozen limeade, thawed {I used Minute Maid}

Limes

Coarse salt {kosher}

 

Empty 4 beers into a large pitcher.  I used Corona because the ingredients in this recipe sorta lend themselves to Mexican beer, and Corona has the best commercials so it won out ;)

Add a cup of tequila and a can of frozen limeade.  Stir until well mixed!

Squeeze fresh lime juice onto a plate & kosher salt on a different plate.  You’ll use the lime juice to wet the rim of your glass & then dip it into the salt :)

Fill your glass with ice and top with the beer margarita.  Garnish with a lime wedge.

HELLO, summertime!  SO YUM!!!!!

I know this concoction sounds a little crazy, but it’s SO good!  Give it a shot next weekend and see for yourself!!!

We've always called them "Beer-garitas!" And, they are surprisingly good!!! And, beer is cheaper than taquila, right!? :)

Oh my gosh, this does sound really crazy but I'm going to have to give it a try! We are opening our pool soon and this would be a great poolside drink! Enjoy the rest of your weekend ~andrea

We used to drink these all the time, but would mix them in a blender. Thanks for the reminder!

Sounds good!

This is so tacky and I won't be offended if you delete the comment, but my friends and I always call these "Hop, Skip, and go Nekid's"! So delicious... but we always blend it in the blender so it's "frozen"!

A bar in Manhattan, KS (home of Kansas State Wildcats and Aggieville) make this with lemonade, vodka and beer and they are called Summer Beers. Can't wait to try this version!
