A very pleasing and refreshing beverage anytime of the year ~ I'm not a huge fan of the flavor of tequila, although I'm unable to detect its flavor in these delectable Coronaritas... |
Prep: 10 Mins.
INGREDIENTS:
***Coronaritas:
1 (12. oz. bottle) of Corona Beer
12 ozs. of tequila
--(A quality brand)
1 (12 oz. can) of frozen limeade concentrate, thawed
1 (12 oz. can) of sprite
1 lime, cut in half
--(Reserve other ½ for rimming glass)
Ice cubes, enough for 6 glasses
***Rimming glass / garnish:
1 lime, cut into 8 slices, then cut a slit half way through each slice (for garnish)
and kosher salt (to rim glass)
METHOD:
Prepare 6 stemmed margarita glasses by running a half of a lime around rim of each. Pour kosher salt onto a flat saucer, and gently tap moistened rim of glass to coat. Fill each glass will ice cubes, and set aside.
***[For non-blended Coronaritas]:
Pour corona, tequila, limeade concentrate, and sprite into a large pitcher. Squeeze half a lime into pitcher mixture as well, and stir to combine. Pour Coronarita mixture equally among 6 prepared glasses, and garnish each with a slice of lime.

***[For blended Coronaritas...My preference ;-)]
Pour corona, tequila, limeade concentrate, and sprite into blender. Squeeze half a lime into pitcher mixture, as well as 3 cups of ice cubes, and puree to combine. Pour Coronarita mixture equally among 6 prepared glasses, and garnish each with a slice of lime. ~ Enjoy!
I don't even like tequila, but I love these coronaritas, and love to serve them during Cinco de Mayo!!!
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic! I was leary about adding beer into a beautiful pitcher of Margaritas as I do not like the taste of beer, but WOW, so glad I did!! The beer adds body to the Margarita without making it taste like beer. Hard to explain, but easy to drink!! Two thumbs up!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Lauren for the compliment - I'm glad you like the Coronaritas, it's a fine springtime toddy!!!
