There are so many variations to the recipe, that everyone is sure to find one they love whether it is fruity, frozen or even includes a beer (beer+margarita = "beer-garita") . Unless, that is, you don't like tequila. If you don't like tequila then a margarita is not for you, and niether is a beer-garita. Sorry!    If you do like margaritas, then we strongly encourage you to mix up a new kind of a drink - the beer-garita.   They're tasty, and a great way to mix up your typical margarita on the rocks.   Ready to try it out? Follow the steps below: ### **Ingredients for a six-person recipe:![beer-margarita-beer-garita](https://www.thegirlsguidetobeer.com/hs-fs/file-10052927-png/images/beergarita.png?width=260&name=beergarita.png)** - 3 beers  (We recommend a Mexican one like Corona or Presidente) - 1, 12 ounce can of Limeade - 12 ounces of tequila. Use the empty Limeade container for measuring. - A couple cut-up limes (up to your personal preference) - Ice, and lots of it - Margarita salt (optional)   ### **Easy steps to make your beer-garita:** 1. In a large pitcher, mix the beer, limeade and tequila enough to immerse the liquids together. 2. Next either add the ice or pour over a pitcher which contains ice. 3. If you want to add margarita salt, do this now. Grab a lime-wedge and rub it along the lip of the glass in order. Then dip the lip of the glass into the margarita salt.  4. Lastly pour mixture and garnish with a lime. Have you or will you try a beer-garita?
