Dad's Killer Beergaritas are a thirst-quenching mix of beer and margaritas. My Dad's famous summer drink recipe!
This recipe is NOT gluten free.
You guys…I got it! Dad’s Killer Beergarita recipe!
Wow, I totally just felt like a 17 year old calling all her friends after raiding her parent’s liquor cabinet. Not that I ever did that or anything. Cough.
Anyway! Beergaritas are one of my Dad’s specialties and are the ultimate refreshing summer drink.
Lime-flavored light beer is spiked with a shot of tequila and triple sec, lightly sweetened with Rose’s lime juice and limeade, then topped off with freshly squeezed lime juice. These babies are KILLER!!
My Dad cooks and mixes drinks a lot like me – add a pinch of this, a dash of that – but I asked him to try his very best to measure and write the recipe down the next time he made a batch, and he totally pulled through.
Plus he was pretty jazzed about the prospect of his recipe appearing on the site. Go Dad, go! ;)
My recipe? On the blog? Could it be?!
Per Dad’s instructions: For one Beergarita, pour 1 cold Miller Chill inside a large glass. You could use Bud Light Lime, or a regular beer for that matter, but Miller Chill tastes the absolute best.
Add 1 shot each Tequila and Triple Sec into the glass next.
Next, add 1/2 shot Rose’s Sweetened Lime Juice, which you get right by the margarita stuff in the store.
I don’t love the idea of adding sugar to my beergarita, but in the grand scheme of things, it is a whole lot less than if I was drinking a straight up margarita, or even Bud Light’s new lime-a-rita stuff, which is so sweet it kind of hurts my teeth!
Add 1 Tablespoon thawed Limeade next. Again – the whole sugar thing, I know, but it’s just 1 Tablespoon.
Finish ‘er up with the juice of 1/2 lime and some ice!
Ready, set, refresh!
These are sooo delicious! Rather than the sickeningly sweet flavor of a standard margarita, these beergaritas have just a hint of sweet, and a whole lot of tart and fizz from the lime and light beer.
You could run a lime wedge around the rim of the glass, then dip it in course salt before adding your beergarita ingredients, or go without and snack on some lightly salted peanuts instead, which is how I usually roll.

Im not a beer fan but I love lime flavors I might just have to try these. Pops go to dish was fried potatoes. It took him like two hours to make them but they were golden and crispy on the outside and light and fluffy in the middle. Im ashamed to admit as a kid he and I would make a meal out of just fried potatoes.
I make mine with Corona Light :)
I’m usually a mixed drink/cooler girl myself. But if there’s any way to get e to drink beer, this would be it!
We make something similar, and here it is…by the pitcher. Affectionately called, Milwaukee Margaritas!
One bottle of beer
One can frozen limeade
Tequilla (use the empty limeade can…can add water to adjust the alcohol content…which I highly suggest…these babies will catch up with you!)
Serve in glass with ice
Some add 7-up, we don’t, but I suppose it may be good! Happy 4th!
Yay! You tracked down the recipe just in time for the 4th! woohoo!!
I made Judy’s Baked Beans for two potlucks this weekend, They were a hit at both. As always, your recipes are perfectly written. Your measurements, times and taste descriptions are always spot on! I really appreciate that! Thank you!
Still deciding if my husband and I are going to sweat it out at Yankee Doodle Pops too. If I had half-frozen beergaritas… Now that’s another story!
First, I know what I’m getting at the liquor store on the way home tonight! Thanks!!
Second, I LOVE your Dang! That’s Good! shot glass. We have a pint glass with the same saying and it’s my favorite to drink beer from. :)
8 more weeks until I have this baby… 8 more weeks… 8 more weeks… :) Mama could seriously use a beergarita right now!!
“Killer” is precisely the word I’m looking for – these look awesome! Definitely will be giving it a whirl. As for me, I swear no one makes pancakes quite like my Pop! :) Happy 4th
Yay! These are right up my alley, as I love beer and not so much straight margaritas. Enjoy the concert. Who is it? :)
Yay for beergaritas! They are the perfect alternative to a much too sweet margarita in this heat (Wisco is super hot right now too). And I love that it’s your dad’s recipe, how cute!
My dad is a mixologist too. His specialty is his famous bloody Mary but he likes mixing up other things too. Just the other day, he mixed my mom a vodka & pink lemonade with a Stevia’d rim! :)
Have fun at that concert & try to stay cool!
Sounds amazing, and sort of like Bud Light’s new Lime a rita, or whatever it’s called…. which I have chilling in the fridge to crack open later! ;)
