THE BEER-GARITA
What's even more refreshing than a classic margarita cocktail on a hot day? One that's topped with beer! That’s right — beer isn’t just for drinking straight up. You can also mix it into drinks of all kinds. For a beer-garita, just take the typical mix of tequila, Cointreau, and lime juice, and then top it with Heineken beer. The hops pair perfectly with the tart lime and orange perfume of a margarita. With this refreshing drink you’ll have yourself the best of both the cocktail and brewski worlds.
