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.
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).
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!

To me these sounded gross. I made them for a BBQ with the neighbors, just one batch. I really didn’t think anyone would like them. But they were so good they went fast. I made two batches of them for Memorial Day, NONE left. 4th of July I will have 4 batches on hand (we’re expecting quite a crowd). So easy and yummy. I use diet 7UP and Corona Light so that I can drink more. ; D
The Blond Cook
I am so glad you gave them a chance & liked them…happy 4th of July! 🙂

This is my margarita recipe. I just leave out the cherry soda and fill the blender with ice for frozen margaritas. Too good! I will be trying it with the cherry soda for a different taste. Thanks!
The Blond Cook
Yum! I will have to try your recipe…my blender is broken so I haven’t been able to make any frozen drinks lately! 🙁

I have an allergy to Tequila… had to learn the hard way, I use to think it must be the shots with friends or just too many Margarita’s in one night, anyway…I make my Margarita’s using Barcardi O, it’s an orange flavored rum. I’ can’t wait to give this recipe a try with the Barcardi O.
The Blond Cook
How did it turn out with the Bacardi?

I had this at my birthday party and it was a BIG hit! I told people to sip SLOW but this will be my staple summer drink!
