Calling all margarita lovers! Here’s a recipe for “beeritas” – a unique twist on the classic margarita that uses beer to create a surprisingly delicious and refreshing drink.
Taming the Green:
Forget those neon green margaritas! Beer steps in as the secret weapon to balance out the sweetness and create a more nuanced flavor profile.
Beer Choice:
Opt for lighter beers or lagers to avoid overpowering the other ingredients. Skip the expensive microbrews for this recipe – a standard brew will work perfectly.
Making it Easy:
We’ll use the limeade concentrate can as a measurement guide for the other ingredients. Feel free to adjust with extra water if the mixture seems too sweet. For a smoother texture, consider straining the pulp before serving.
Ingredients
- 1 (12-ounce) can frozen limeade concentrate
- 12 ounces tequila
- 12 ounces water (or more to taste)
- 12 ounces beer
- Ice
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
Instructions:
- Assemble the Crew: Gather all your ingredients for a quick and easy mixing process.
- Combine and Conquer: Pour the limeade concentrate, tequila, water, and beer into a large pitcher. Stir until the limeade concentrate is fully melted.
- Chill Out: Fill the pitcher with plenty of ice to keep your beeritas nice and cold.
- Garnish Galore: Add a festive touch with lime wedge garnishes.
- Taste and Adjust: If the mixture seems too sweet, add a little more water to dilute it to your preference.
