🍹 Calling all cocktail enthusiasts! After a mar 🍹 Calling all cocktail enthusiasts! After a marathon of mixology and countless taste-tests, we've discovered the secret to the PERFECT Beerita! 😎

⚙️ Several recipes and countless taste tests later, we're proud to present our definitive Beerita Recipe, a symphony of flavors balanced to perfection. And the best part? They're a breeze to whip up!

📝 Here's the golden recipe:
12-oz. limeade
Two 12-oz. beers 🍻
12 oz. tequila 🥃
12 oz. Sprite 🍾
1 C. ice ❄️

🗣️ From the Mixologists: We tried a version with one beer - good, but two beers? Even better. Worried about a 'beery' taste? Don't be! The beer merely offsets the tartness of the limeade, while the Sprite adds a refreshing fizz.
