BEER MARGARITAS
Who would believe that beer would be the perfect solution to eradicating fluorescent green margaritas? Well, it is! Best to use not-so-micro brews to avoid an overpowering beer flavor. Use the limeade can to measure the ingredients, and adjust with extra water if the mixture seems too sweet. Straining the pulp is always a good idea, unless, of course, you like pulp!

Steps:
- Combine the sugar and 1/3 cup water in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Let cool completely.
- Whisk together the tequila, lime juice, cooled sugar syrup, orange liqueur and 1 cup cold water in a medium bowl. Freeze until slushy in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions, about 45 minutes (see Cook's Note). Transfer the frozen margaritas to a chilled pitcher. Store in the freezer until ready to serve.
- Fill a small plate with an even layer of salt. Moisten the rims of 4 chilled rocks or wine glasses and press into the salt to rim the edges. Divide the margaritas among the glasses. Serve with lime wedges.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh limes, oranges, and strawberries will give your margaritas the best flavor.
- Chill your ingredients: Chilling your ingredients will help your margaritas get slushy faster.
- Use a blender with a frozen drink setting: This will help you get a smooth, slushy consistency.
- Add ice cubes or crushed ice: This will help thicken your margaritas and make them even slushier.
- Garnish with a lime wedge or a strawberry: This will add a pop of color and flavor to your drink.
Conclusion:
Slushy margaritas are a delicious and refreshing way to enjoy a classic cocktail. With a few simple ingredients and a blender, you can easily make a batch of slushy margaritas at home. Enjoy them as a party drink, as a summer cooler, or as a special treat anytime you want something sweet and tangy. Remember to drink responsibly and enjoy your margaritas in moderation. **Additional Tips:**- To make a virgin slushy margarita, simply omit the tequila or replace it with additional lime juice or orange juice.
- For a sweeter margarita, add a tablespoon or two of simple syrup or agave nectar.
- For a spicier margarita, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a serrano pepper.
- Get creative with your garnishes! Try using a lime wedge, a strawberry, or a pineapple wedge. You can also add a sprinkle of salt or sugar to the rim of your glass.
