I have said this before and I will say it again that one of my favorite parts of summer is sitting out on the back porch after work with a cold drink in hand and watching Sophie run through the back yard and making that Jolly Rancher Vodka a while ago has really upped my drink making game! HA!
Now while the idea of having a margarita sounds good in theory I don’t really like the taste of tequila so I usually skip them at restaurants in favor of a beer or another mixed drink. However at home I have learned to make a similar drink but with vodka and that I can definitely get down on!! YUM!!
I love anything cherry flavored so I knew my Cherry Jolly Rancher Vodka was the way to go. I also bumped up the cherry flavor by adding some cherry juice (straight from the jar of maraschino cherries, it’s delicious so don’t hate) and the lime came from the frozen limeade and because we all know Coronas taste better with lime. HA!!
For this recipe you can use any beer and any Vodka, flavored or not, but I just prefer Corona and a flavored vodka for mine. Cherry is my usual go-to hence the name, Cherry Beer-garitas! The frozen lime aid is a really good base and you can even add more real lime juice or even lime essential oil in order to up the lime flavor if that’s your thing.
My recipe for the drink is below but here is the gist…put a couple spoonfuls of frozen lime aid in a blender. Top with beer, a couple shots of cherry vodka, and a splash of cherry juice. Fill blender to the top with ice and blend it up!! SO GOOD!!!
I got a Ninja blender a couple months ago and this has also seriously upped my drink and smoothie game. It makes my drinks soooooo smooth, no random ice chunks, and I think they just taste better. I love the auto-IQ button because it actually blends as long as it needs to, no more and no less. This isn’t a sponsored post for Ninja, I just really love my blender!!
So if you are looking for a grew summer drink to have on the back porch, on the lake, or anytime then I think you should definitely try my Cherry Beer-garitas!!
Are you a margarita fan??
Have you made a beer-garita before??

That’s a great cocktail idea! I’ve never seen a mixed drink like that before. It sounds yummy.
I need this in my life right now. Next weekend is my birthday and we are heading out to the lake house. I am putting this drink at the top of my list.
This looks yummy and refreshing. The perfect drink on girls’ night in.
This sounds like the perfect summer cocktail! Great for a moms night in! :)
This looks really good. I have never had one of these before. Cherry limeade stuff is my favorite, so this must taste great!
I normally despise beer, but this drink recipe actually sounds like it would be delicious! I love cherry flavors and margaritas, so I may have to try this sometime. :)
I have to admit that I have yet to try making the Jolly Rancher vodka. This is indeed one drink recipe I am going to try but I will also try it with watermelon Jolly Rancher vodka. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
My hubby likes beer in his bloody mary’s (Michelada.) I’ve never thought about using beer in a sweet drink like this one!
That looks so yummy right now. I would love to try this very soon. Thanks for the recipe.
This looks like a delicious mix! This sounds perfect on a date night with hubby! :) I can’t wait to try your cheery beer-garita, love the name too!
