- 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.)

Back in the eighties we made with pink lemonade concentrate, beer and ever clear (we weren’t smart) and called it a strip and go naked. Ah stupid youth.
Michele
Since there were just 2 of us, I didn't need an entire pitcher, so I skipped the limeade and used lime juice and agave syrup instead. It was delicious, so refreshing. I used the following amounts for 2 drinks: 2 oz fresh lime juice 1 oz agave syrup 4 oz tequila 6 oz sparkling water 4 oz beer Rimmed the glasses with Tajine. Served over large ice cubes. We ended up adding more beer to make the flavor more complex, so in the future I will reduce the water to 4 oz and increase to beer to 6 oz.

In Alabama, we call this a Porch Margarita! Attributed to a dear friend and Auburn University Graduate, Eileen Hallmark!

Known years ago as a Skip and Go Naked.
Summer Beer
I've been making a similar version of this every summer for about 10 years when we go to the beach. A friend shared her recipe with me. Easy to make and a big hit with Margarita and beer fans alike. My friend's recipe calls for 4 Coronas instead of just 12 oz of lager. It makes a less potent drink than described here, which works well for a hot summer day.

I love these with frozen pineapple concentrate as well! Add a tajin rim and a slice of jalapeño. Major crowd pleaser!

These are called River Ritas throughout the Western US because they've been a staple of river running culture for decades. The cheaper the brand of beer and tequila, the better the drink. College students and adults forced to live like they're still in college drink them, too. A Summer Party without them wouldn't be complete. And they're great in Winter, too.
Melinda
These are DELICIOUS. They've got all the flavor of a margarita without the hammer. A little too refreshing, especially with crushed ice. I might never go back to the original.

True to most recipes, all you need is equal parts limeade, blanco tequila & Mexican beer (Corona) -nothing else. Been making it this way for 45 years!

Uggg! I love beer; but this is just as bad as all weird beer concoctions (e.g., cucumber, etc.) made by craft brewers today. A trip to the liquor store to get traditional (e.g., lager, Pilsner, stout, porter, hefe weizen, etc.) has become a nuisance trying to avoid the weird stuff.

Many TexMex restaurants serve these but everyone has a different style. I have been making my own for a long time, and with a Salteez strip, I no longer make a mess salting the cocktail rims or beers. Salt lasts longer too. Can’t wait to try this recipe.

This was fun and easy drink to make at the beach! Next time we might halve the limeade.
Melanie
I just call this a picture of margaritas! My CA cousin taught me this recipe, but just three parts: can of limeade, can of tequila, and a beer. Put in pitcher with lots of ice. I like the idea of adding a can of water, because, it makes for a lighter version.

Ha! We’ve been making these for decades. Great for on the boat or at the beach. We do add a little bubble though. Our recipe calls for, in addition to the beer, a can of either diet 7-Up, Fresca, or Sprite. I prefer the Fresca as it’s less sweet. Try it!! 1(12 oz) can Minutemaid limeade 12-18 oz blanco tequila 2 (12 oz) Corona Lights 4 oz triple sec, Grand Marnier 2 (12oz) cans Fresca, Sprite or Diet 7-Up The bomb!!

We used to make this drink with vodka instead of tequila and called it "Granny Smackers".
Jennifer Gubrud Diez
OMG! Don't forget to list WATER as an ingredient!
Carla graham
I can only think of my old friend Estelle. We were social workers in Boston. I was a wineaholic and she loved beer. Drinking beer with limes in them became trendy, but she wouldn't have anything to do with the trend. "A beer should stand on its own".
janine
We've been making these for 30 years. Put everything in a blender with 3 limeade cans of ice for delicious frozen beer margaritas.
Trish
We make this in Wisconsin, without the water. It’s called a Milwaukee Margarita. Delicious!

This recipe is very similar to Paula Dean's Texas Margarita. Only difference is OJ instead of Cointreau. Costco Silver Tequila works just fine but for my taste I prefer Corona. Perfect summertime poolside beverage but watch out, they go down super fast and easy.

Please add the 12 oz water to the ingredients list. Thanks.
Liz
We always made these in the summer except with a Sprite instead of water.
