How to make a Beergarita (for two)
- Chill two rocks or highball glasses in the freezer. Moisten the edge of the glass with a lime wedge and dip into a shallow plate filled with coarse sea salt to frost the rim.
- Cut one large lime into wedges and put into a jug or a cocktail mixing glass.
- Add the agave syrup and use a muddler or a clean rolling pin to muddle the limes, extracting their juice.
- Add tequila, orange liqueur and ice and stir well.
- Strain the margarita into the two prepared glasses.
- Add cracked ice and lime slices and top with the beer.
How to make a Beergarita pitcher
- Put 5 (or up to 7) glasses in the freezer.
- Combine the tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice and agave syrup if using in a jug. Chill until ready to serve.
- When you are ready to serve add ice to the jug and stir.
- Divide between the chilled glasses, add lime slices and top with ice-cold beer.
Notes
- The agave syrup is optional - if you want to cut down on the sweetness you can leave it out.
- Always taste your Margarita base before adding the beer - dip a straw into the mix and check you are happy with the levels of sweetness /lime. Adjust if necessary.
