Beergarita, beerita: call it what you will! Here’s the best beer margarita recipe: fresh and all natural with real lime and tequila.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 ounces* tequila blanco or reposado*
  • 1 ounce Cointreau
  • 1 ounce fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 ounce simple syrup
  • 4 ounces chilled beer (lager for classic taste, hoppy IPA with citrus notes for something more interesting)
  • Ice, to serve
  • Garnish: lime wheel
  • Optional: kosher salt for salt rim

Instructions

  1. Optional: Cut a notch in a lime wedge, then run the lime around the rim of a glass. Dip the edge of the rim into a plate of flaky sea salt (or for a festive look, use our Margarita Salt).
  2. Add tequila, Cointreau, lime juice, and simple syrup to the serving glass and stir to combine.
  3. Add ice and pour beer over top. Garnish with a lime wheel.

Notes

*To convert to tablespoons, 1 ounce = 2 tablespoons.
