PERFECT BEER MARGARITAS

I recently discovered this DELICIOUS cocktail! There are many versions of this, but after trying many of them, I decided that I love it this way! It's the perfect blend of sweet and slightly tart, but oh so smooth! This goes down very easily, so be careful because it packs a punch! This tastes exactly like the traditional margaritas! It's the best margarita I ever had!
