Description

Redneck Margarita blends Southern charm with zesty cocktail flair, offering a playful twist on classic tequila libations. Hearty spirits and unexpected ingredients create a drink you’ll savor with pure, unfiltered delight.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 12 ounces (354 milliliters) tequila
  • 1 can (12 ounces / 354 milliliters) frozen limeade concentrate (thawed)
  • 12 ounces (354 milliliters) light beer (like Corona, Coors Light, or Bud Light)

Carbonated Mixer:

  • 6 ounces (177 milliliters) Sprite (or any lemon-lime soda)

Ice:

  • Ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the glass exterior by moistening the rim with a fresh lime wedge, then delicately coat with coarse salt crystals for a tangy, textured finish.
  2. Select a spacious pitcher and pour the completely thawed limeade concentrate with precision, creating a zesty citrus base.
  3. Introduce chilled tequila into the mixture, ensuring a smooth integration of alcoholic spirits with the concentrated lime foundation.
  4. Gently cascade the crisp beer into the liquid composition, stirring with a gentle circular motion to prevent excessive foam and maintain ingredient harmony.
  5. Crown the cocktail preparation with a splash of effervescent Sprite, blending the carbonated element seamlessly into the existing mixture.
  6. Fill sturdy glasses with abundant ice cubes, creating a frosty vessel for the vibrant libation.
  7. Carefully decant the pitcher’s contents over the ice, allowing the liquid to cascade and chill instantly.
  8. Enhance the visual appeal and flavor profile by artfully positioning fresh lime wedges along the glass rim, transforming the drink into a refreshing tropical experience.
  9. Serve immediately, inviting guests to savor the unconventional and spirited Redneck Margarita.

Notes

  • Customize the salt rim by using flavored salts like chili or smoked salt for an extra kick.
  • Experiment with different beer varieties to create unique flavor profiles, such as a light lager or a citrusy wheat beer.
  • Make a non-alcoholic version by replacing tequila and beer with sparkling water and additional lime juice for a mocktail twist.
  • Prep ahead by mixing the cocktail in a large batch and storing it in the refrigerator for quick party serving.
