Beergarita Recipe
You only need 3 ingredients to make this amazing drink! There’s nothing I like better than an easy cocktail I can throw together so I don’t miss a thing while watching the game.
Not only are these beer margaritas easy to throw together, but they are endlessly riffable! I sometimes swap half of the limeade concentrate for other concentrates like orange juice, pink lemonade, grapefruit, or raspberry lemonade. For more fruit flavor, I’ll mix in mango or guava nectar. I’ve also been known to whip up a batch of spicy beergaritas, with a diced jalapeño.
Choosing the right tequila
I find that silver, or blanco, tequila is the best for margaritas as the tequila hasn’t been aged as long and has a stronger flavor that mixes well. Gold tequila has been aged for longer and has a woodier flavor that doesn’t pair as well with the fresh fruit flavors. Reposado tequila is a type of gold tequila that has not been aged for as long, so it will also work in a margarita, although it is not my first choice.

How to Make Beer Margaritas Step by Step
Make the limeade: Prepare the 12 ounces of frozen limeade according to package directions (usually you add 4½ cans of water).
Add beer and tequila: Stir in the 16 ounces of light beer and 3/4 cup of tequila. Use more or less tequila to taste.
Coat the rim of the glasses: Dip the top of each margarita glass in water (or use a lime wedge to coat the top of the glass in lime juice) and then in salt to create the salt rim.
Garnish and enjoy: Serve over ice with lime wedges as garnish. Enjoy!
How to Store
You can prep these beer margaritas up to 1 day in advance of when you plan to serve them. Simply stir all of the ingredients together (but don’t add any ice!) and chill in the refrigerator. Store leftover beergarita mix in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
For longer storage, you can freeze these beer margaritas. Because they contain alcohol, they will not freeze solid. You can store them in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Let thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
Serving Suggestions
These beer margaritas are even better when paired with the best appetizers and Mexican food! Serve yours with a beer cheese dip , a platter of sheet pan chicken nachos , or for a hardier appetizer, make a batch of baked chicken wings .

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.

What to Buy at the Grocery Store
This is the perfect grocery list filled with all the basics and essentials. It should help get you going if you’re new to cooking, or if you’re just left staring helplessly at an empty pantry and don’t know how to fill it.

So print out our easy grocery list, stock up your pantry and fridge, and you’ll be cooking in no time!
