There are a lot of awesome ways to amp up a margarita, and we found yet another fail-proof rendition of one of our favorite cocktails. This time we've added a special ingredient: beer. Make some homemade strawberry lemonade and mix it all up for one hell of a summer afternoon.

Strawberry Lemonade Beergarita

INGREDIENTS:
  • 1/2 lb strawberries (1 1/2 cups), trimmed and halved
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh lemon juice (from about 5 lemons)
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 12 oz light beer
  • 12 oz tequila
  • 12 oz lemon lime soda (like 7UP or Sprite)
DIRECTIONS:
  • Purée strawberries with 2 tablespoons lemon juice in a blender until smooth, then force through a fine sieve into a bowl to remove seeds. Place strawberry purée at bottom of jug and mix with ¾ cup sugar.
  • Combine remaining lemon juice, and 1 cup sugar. Pour over ice-filled pitcher.
  • Pour in beer, tequila and top with lemon lime soda.
  • Garnish with lemon slices and strawberries.
