Frozen Beer Margarita Recipe: A Blended Beer-Rita Slush

A Frozen Beer Margarita takes the Coronarita concept, beer poured into a margarita, and blends the whole thing into a slush instead of serving it over ice.

Frozen limeade concentrate does double duty here, adding both the lime flavor and the sweetness a margarita mix would normally bring, while the tequila and beer blend in for the kick.

It’s built for a blender rather than a shaker, and it’s a two-glass recipe by design since a full 12oz beer blends into more slush than one margarita glass usually holds.

FAQ

Why add the beer after blending?

Blending the beer with the ice would kill most of the carbonation. Pulsing it in briefly at the end keeps some fizz in the finished slush.

Can I use regular limeade instead of the frozen concentrate?

The frozen concentrate is stronger and adds body to the slush. Regular limeade will work but the drink will be thinner and less sweet, so you may need less ice.

What beer works best?

A light Mexican lager like Corona or Corona Light is traditional, but any crisp, light beer that won’t overpower the lime works.
