I decided to use the classic margarita as my inspiration but used orange juice instead of the standard simple syrup and beer as a backing base, this allows you to enjoy more of the cocktail without over imbibing. To make this beer based tequila cocktail you will need:

• 2 oz Hornitos Plata Tequila
• 4 oz mexican lager (I recommend Dos Equis)
• 1 oz orange juice
• 1 oz Triple Sec

Pour the tequila, orange juice, and triple sec into an ice filled lager pint glass and stir. Top off the remaining volume with your Mexican Lager of choice while stirring very gently as to mix the contents completely without building an overwhelming amount of white foam. Garnish with a lime if you wish and enjoy!

Celebrate fall with a margarita inspired Hornitos Plata Tequila Beer Cocktail; it takes the best aspects of your favorite Mexican lager and combines it with the refreshing and multifaceted margarita creating an amazing and innovative cocktail that every home bartender deserves to master.

Granted, after this day, breaking out a blender, cutting the ingredients, and making a fresh margarita may not be at the top of your list of to-do. It for sure is not at the top of mine. Now, I can always grab a boring beer from the fridge, but honestly, beer isn’t the top of my drink list most days. Honestly, on a hot day, I crave that margarita flavor, with the freshness of the lime and sweetness of the agave. And that’s where Cayman Jack came into my life. With their bottled, malt margaritas, I don’t have to worry about making a bigger mess than what I have already made and I still get to enjoy something crisp and sweet.

Best enjoyed close to freezing, these bottled have an incredible sweetness coming from the cane sugar, all mixed with delicious bitter limes and a deeper undertone from the agave nectar. Compared to other ‘margaritas’ in the bottle or can, Cayman Jack definitely surpassed each one with their ingredients and flavor. A little tip to up the margarita factor of this awesome little bottle would be to take a little margarita salt and sprinkle it into the open bottle. I mean a little pinch is enough, but it just completes the full package.

And great enough, the drink pairs well with some grilled foods, another perfect patio activity.I decided to give this new flank steak chimichurri sandwich recipe a shot, and it was incredible alongside the Cayman Jack Margarita. The spiciness from the chimichurri sauce, paired with the char of the meat, were complimented so perfectly by the sweetness of the margarita, it seemed like a match made in heaven.

I wish I could take credit for it, but I found it on the incredible site food52.com, and you can find the link for the recipe below.
