Beer Margaritas

“Who would believe that beer would be the perfect solution to eradicating fluorescent green margaritas? Well, it is! Best to use not-so-micro brews to avoid an overpowering flavor. Use the limeade can to measure the ingredients, and adjust with extra water if the mixture seems too sweet. Straining the pulp is always a good idea, unless, of course, you like pulp!”

Made this as the recipe suggested with just a smaller amount of tequila. YUM! I'll double the batch next time. Ole!

These are pretty good. I didn't give them 5 stars though because there is something just a little off about them. Maybe a little less water or more beer. Probably won't make them again though.

These are so good! I followed the recipes exactly except I added two splashes of triple sec. I used a Landshark beer. It is hard to believe that there is beer in this margarita!

I'm not usually a big margarita fan, but these were absolutely amazing. I omited the water and used ice instead for a frozen margarita. My boyfriend and I drank the entire recipe: I was a very happy Cinco de Mayo!

My preference is fresh squeezed lime juice but this is easy for entertaining and not too sweet. I like to taste the booze in my drink so this ratio was perfect!

OH MY GOD. These are AMAZING! I made them last night for Cinco de Mayo and they ROCKED! I went to the beach last week and had the BEST margaritas ever and was hoping to find a recipe that could match what I had there. THIS IS IT!! I agree with the person who said to add light mexican beer tho...I added dos eqquis (sp??) and, although it was so yummy, it made the margaritas turn a weird color. I am going to make these again and again! :-) THANK YOU!

This was delicious! So delicious, in fact, that it can be a little dangerous. I read on other reviews that using all of the tequila is too strong, so I started with half. That was too sweet for me, so I ended up adding almost all of it. Ole!

WOW! These are great! The only difference I made was I used ginger ale instead of water. Will make again. :)

I like beer, I like tequila, I like lime,...so what's not to like??? I've had these with sprite instead of water and they were very refreshing. Not really like a traditional margarita, but definitely delicious!

really sweet so I added an extra can of water. also, I divided the tequilla in half and it was still kinda strong.... I could not even imagine adding the whole 12 ounces! that would have been like a shot!

Since many reviews said these were strong. I decided to only use 6 oz. of tequila. And just added extra water. I am so surprised at how you can't taste the beer. I used Corona Light. It really helps cut the sweetness. A good margarita and much cheaper!

These are the best. Way better than the pre-mixed bottles of margarita, and hardly any more work to make. I used Corona and Jose Cuervo with generic limeade. The only change I made was to tone it down with extra beer instead of extra water. These will sneak up on you FAST!

Yea, I was skeptical too. I took the ingredients to a party and mixed up a pitcher. Everyone loved it. Someone else brought the stuff for a regular marg and we did a taste test. The Beer Marg won. This was an "expert" group as we drink a lot of Margs and since we live in New Mexico I consider the group to be pretty savvy.

Honestly this is one of the worst margaritas I have ever had. And believe me I have had a lot of margaritas in my life! I have no idea how it has gotten such good reviews. The only reason I gave it two stars was because it was easy to make. We followed the recipe exactly. We used Corona for the beer and Patron for the tequila. We drank the whole pitcher because we didn't want to waste the Patron, but will never make these again. We will stick with our recipe (Brian's Fresh Margarita).
