Beeritas
A can of limeade concentrate combined with equal parts lager and tequila, this falls into the don’t-knock-it-until-you’ve-tried-it category. The beerita, a margarita-like drink with beer, is a refreshing cocktail that’s incredibly easy to assemble, thanks to the can of limeade. After the concentrate is emptied into a pitcher, simply fill the 12-ounce container with tequila, then again with water and finally, pour in a standard-size beer. (To bring home the warm, orange flavor associated with a margarita, mix in a little triple sec.) The end result is a batched cocktail enough for eight, which makes it ideal for a summertime cookout or block party.

Ingredients
- 1(12-ounce) can frozen limeade concentrate
- 12ounces blanco tequila
- 12ounces lager
- 4ounces triple sec, such as Cointreau (optional)
- Kosher salt, for serving
- Lime wedges, for serving
- Ice, for serving
Instructions
Step 1
Add the limeade to a large pitcher. Fill the empty limeade container with tequila, then pour into the pitcher. Fill the container again, this time with 12 ounces tap water, and add to the pitcher. Pour in lager and triple sec, if using. Mix ingredients until the limeade has thawed and everything is combined.Step 2
Pour some salt onto a small plate. Run a lime wedge around the rim of a beer mug. Turn the glass upside down; press and turn it in the salt until the rim is coated. Fill the mug with ice, then fill with the limeade mixture. Squeeze in a lime wedge and serve. (Alternatively, add a pinch of salt to the cocktail instead of rimming the glass.)
