Notes

Tips for Making the Best Modelorita:
Keep It Cold: Place the tequila in the refrigerator before making these cocktails. Having all of the ingredients cold before assembling the drinks will ensure they stay cold longer. This works for the glasses too, place them in the fridge or freezer before adding cocktails to the glasses.
Choose the Right Beer: The crisp, refreshing flavors of Modelo Especial work best in this cocktail. Others can be used, including Corona and Dos Equis. They also have a crisp, light flavor with less bitterness. Craft beer and heavy lagers don't have the refreshing qualities of these lighter beers.
Sweet or Salty: Place flavored salt or rimming sugar into a round dish, rub a lime around the rim of each glass, and dip the glass into the salt or sugar. This adds extra flavor and texture to your cocktails.
Blended or On The Rocks: Your margarita doesn't need to be frozen! Make this cocktail with a margarita on the rocks, no need to blend it if you don't have a blender or the time to do it. This cocktail is equally as delicious poured over ice.
