Directions
To salt the margarita glasses, rub the outside rims of 4 big glasses with a cut lime and press them lightly into a plate of kosher salt, to coat.
Combine the lime juice, sugar, orange liqueur, Triple Sec, tequila, and a big handful of ice in a cocktail shaker (or blender). Shake the margarita really well, for a good 20 seconds, add a splash of beer and strain into the salt rimmed glasses filled with ice. Garnish with a lime wheel.

Awesome! By far the best margarita I've had! I used Patron Cittronage for the orange liquor and then Durango triple sec and gold tequila and it was delish. I also used Mich Gold Light as that was what I had and they turned out marvelous. I blended them, also. Try it and you'll love it!

I made these last night for Cinco De Mayo, but it was a little off. The sugar didn't dissolve, and just sat at the bottom of the pitcher, and I used Corona, which made it a little light. I think next time I'll use a finer sugar. Does anybody have a suggestion on what brand of beer would be best? I realize the recipe says "lager" but I'm not sure what that is.
