Summer is ready to roll, it seems, as indicated by a very nasty hail storm this a couple weekends ago. In Montana it is pretty much par for the course that extreme weather marks the beginning of our seasons, which doesn't always fall into the same seasons that are displayed on a standard calendar. We may still get one more snow storm before the end of May, it's just that loco up in here, and maybe even a little tornado warning at or around Father's Day. It's like a barometric adventure every day!
When summer begins there are several ways to beat the heat. One of my favorites: COCKTAILS! From a cold glass *ahem bottle ahem* of chilled Moscato to a nice tall aluminum bottle of Coors Light (here's lookin at you, LG), cocktails make the summer season slightly more fuzzy and 100% more hydrating. It's science. Let me introduce you to one of my favorite summer treats.
Behold, the glory that is the Beer Margarita! This was another Pinterest discovery (recipe HERE) that rocked my proverbial socks off, and they are ridiculously easy to make. All you need is a frozen can of concentrated lime-aid (thawed), a bottle of beer (I go with Corona), water (just fill the empty Corona bottle and voila!), tequila (about a half a cup, or more, whatever blows your hair back), combine all of the above and serve over ice with lime slices! You really can't detect the beer at all, they just taste like a lovely, tart margarita.
I particularly love doing a salt rim on a chilled glass, and a dash of fresh chopped cilantro (along with the obligatory slice of lime) is the perfect garnish for this concoction. If you love margaritas I thoroughly recommend you try this version rather than the pre-made stuff. And don't forget the cilantro and salt!!!!
