• Made famous by: Casey and Debbie McEwen of Alpharetta, who started serving a variation of this cocktail at summer parties several years ago. "Most folks love it and describe it as a 'less tarty party version' of the traditional drink," Casey McEwen said. "It's now a staple of every party we have."

• Tip: Quantities are subject to your taste and endurance levels. Reduce the tequila or add more beer to your individual preference. To make a frozen beergarita, McEwan said, reduce the total number of beers to two, and combine the limeade concentrate and tequila in a blender with crushed ice.
