Chill two rocks or highball glasses in the freezer. Moisten the edge of the glass with a lime wedge and dip into a shallow plate filled with coarse sea salt to frost the rim.
Cut one large lime into wedges and put into a jug or a cocktail mixing glass.
Add the agave syrup and use a muddler or a clean rolling pin to muddle the limes, extracting their juice.
Add tequila, orange liqueur and plenty of ice and stir well.
Strain the cocktail into the two prepared glasses.
Add cracked ice and lime slices and top with the beer. Stir and enjoy!
HOW TO MAKE A PITCHER OF BEERGARITAS (OR MARGARITAS)
Margaritas work on a 2:1:1 ratio – two measures of tequila, one measure of orange liqueur and one measure lime juice.
With this formula in mind, one cup (250ml) tequila, half a cup (125ml) orange liqueur, half a cup (125ml) fresh lime juice plus one quarter cup (about 60ml) agave syrup will make enough for at least five strong beergaritas.
