In my weekly hunt to find something cool and refreshing with which to end the long hot work week, I came across this variation by theblondcook.com It just sounds happy, no? I mean, you could almost put an umbrella in this one.

Anyway, this one looks easy to put together and not terribly difficult to consume, either. Indeed, Blondie, whoever she is, addresses the high drinkability rating of this drink:

"I’m sharing one of my favorite 5 o’clock porch drinks:  cherry beer margaritas.  They’re so dainty and refreshing, but don’t let ‘em fool you.  They will slap you in the face when you’re least expecting it.  So tread lightly, friends……and enjoy."

For the record, Blondie says her favorite beer is Corona Light, so that's what she uses.

So be careful out there, but if you're toasting the season that's slipping quickly through our fingers, consider doing it with one of these.
