Do you ever have those days when you want to celebrate just because it’s 5 o’clock? 🙂
Yeah. I feel ya’ pain. That’s why I’m sharing one of my favorite 5 o’clock porch drinks: Cherry Beer Margaritas.Â
They’re so dainty and refreshing, but don’t let ’em fool you. They will slap you in the face when you’re least expecting it. So tread lightly, friends… and enjoy. 🙂
All you’re gonna need is your favorite tequila, a 12 ounce can of frozen limeade, 12 ounces of cherry flavored soda, your favorite beer, kosher salt, a lime and maraschino cherries (oh, and ice).Â
I empty the limeade concentrate in the pitcher first, and use the same can for measuring the soda and tequila.
I hope you enjoy this little refreshing porch cocktail as much as I do. Cheers!

Will this stay good for a couple days in the fridge?

Hi Jessica, the only thing I would worry about is the cherry soda & beer losing the carbonation (or “fizz”–that makes it good!) if it’s not sealed tightly. It’s never lasted that long around here to need refrigerating…LOL! If you do make it ahead, I would prepare everything except for the alcohol & add that right before serving
Renee
We were thinking about making this for our wedding on June 30th, but worry about it losing fizz. Do you mean add the soda right before serving? Or add the alcohol before serving? Thanks so much!
The Blond Cook
Hi Renee! Sorry for the delay; I’ve been out of town. I just sent you an email–please check it when you get time! 🙂

Made a pitcher of this last night, and it came out really good! Couldn’t find cherry 7up so we used a mix of cherry limeade and the cherry flavored mountain dew. Thanks for a great recipe!
Lisa
Try it with vodka, it is great!
Meggan
oh man – this sounds good! Have you tried any other liquors? I had a VERY bad night in college with tequila and 15 years later I still can’t handle even the smell!
The Blond Cook
LOL Meggan! I’ve heard of that more than once! No I haven’t tried it with anything else; I can’t imagine what else would be good in it. The “pineapple orange crusher” is similar in that it has beer, frozen fruit concentrate, ginger ale & pineapple vodka in it if you want to try that one!
Janet
Try a brazilian rum called Cachaca .
Mary
Flavored vodka is good with beer and frozen lemonade
