Margaritas Three Ways
With Summer and Cinco de Mayo right around the corner, I have margaritas on the brain! I'm a "on the rocks" gal but these are irresistible. Serve these unique versions at your next fiesta.
Beer 'Garitas
I keep saying I'm going to try these and haven't yet…have you?
Prep: 5 min. For a bolder flavor, use a dark beer. Serve in 16-oz. mason jars for fun.
Makes 4 servings
- 1 cup frozen limeade concentrate, thawed
- 1 cup tequila
- 1/2 cup orange liqueur
- Crushed ice
- 1/2 to 1 cup cold beer
1. Stir together first 3 ingredients until well blended. Fill 4 medium glasses with crushed ice. Pour limeade mixture evenly into glasses. Add beer to taste.
Note: For testing purposes only, we used Minute Maid Frozen Concentrate for Limeade, José Cuervo Especial tequila, and Triple Sec for orange liqueur
Scarlet Margaritas
This is the prettiest color!
Prep: 10 min. If pomegranates are not available, no problem. This drink is just as delicious without the fresh seeds.
Makes 6 servings (serving size: 1 cup)
- 4 cups crushed ice
- 1 cup pomegranate juice
- 1/2 cup orange liqueur
- 1/2 cup tequila
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 4 tablespoons pomegranate seeds (1/2 fresh pomegranate) (optional)
- Lime wedges
- Coarse salt
- Garnish: lime slices
1. Process first 5 ingredients, and, if desired, pomegranate seeds in a blender 30 seconds or until frothy.
2. Rub rims of 6 glasses with lime wedges; dip in salt to coat. Pour margarita evenly into prepared glasses. Garnish, if desired. Serve immediately.
Note: For testing purposes only, we used Pom Wonderful 100% Pomegranate Juice
Blue Margaritas
Look at that frosty pitcher-ice cold!
For an even coating around the rim of each glass, dip first in lime juice and then salt.
Makes 5 cups
1 (10-ounce) can frozen margarita mix
Combine all ingredients in a blender. Fill with ice to 5-cup level, and process until smooth. Serve immediately
Come back soon for our Cinco de Mayo/Fiesta menu ideas! I guess it can't be all about the cocktails 😉

I have made those beer margaritas before using a Mexican beer(Corona) and it was goooood ; )
Wow. The scarlet ones look amazing! And a pomegranate margarita sounds delicious anyway.
Love the blue color!
