Beergerita
The Beergerita is a reposado tequila margarita, shaken with Cointreau, lime and simple syrup and topped with Mexican lager. The beer adds bubbles and a malty backbone, and it stretches the drink for a long afternoon outdoors. Easy-drinking and built for cookouts, it is Memorial Day weekend's drink.
