For margarita lovers who love beer equally as much! >> Beergaritas
I’ve had this recipe in my files for at least the last 7 years. Someone gave it to me long ago when I was in the heat being a mad recipe collector. I’ve taken a peek at it many times without much of a second thought. But I found myself thinking about this recipe recently. So I asked my husband to whip it up and let us sample some Beergaritas!
Just as it sounds, this cocktail is a blend of a margarita and beer. I know that sounds strange!!! But it totally works. I happen to be one who is a little “iffy” about margaritas. Unless they’re absolutely fabulous, I don’t really care for them. But this one… I LOVE.
I used Corona Light… but of course, you can use any Mexican beer you like in your Beergaritas. They’re a little fierce and strong- meaning there is a lot of alcohol in them, and they can sneak up on you if you’re not careful!
Why didn’t I know about these in back in college at San Diego State University? They’d have been a very popular drink back then indeed. And that may have gotten me in a bit of trouble, lol 🙂

THANK YOU! These came out SO good (and I was very very suspicious). A perfect summer drink that was loved by lots of different taste buds.
I didn’t think I would like these, but made them anyway for sandwich and cocktail night at our house. I was wrong. They were delicious. Thanks for a great summer cocktail!
I was surprised I like them too. Glad you enjoyed!!
My mouth is watering just reading this and looking at the pics. Now that that the weather is getting hotter, this sounds like perfect comfort drink after a long day.
Beer margaritas used to be my ‘go to’ cocktail in my mid-twenties! The perfect party beverage for sure. I’ll have to whip up a batch for old times sake 😉
