Long before I was the beer lover that I am now, my drink of choice was a margarita. I had a fully stocked liquor cabinet with every kind of margarita syrup available, but my specialty was strawberry mango margaritas. Now, that overly sweetened, artificial, syrup doesn't have the same appeal it once did. Honestly, there is nothing appealing about that fake syrup. That's why, when I decided to make beer margaritas, I decided to forgo the artificial syrups and create a healthier, real mix.
These strawberries were some of the best berries I've bought all season, and they didn't need a lot of extra sugar. You can adjust the sugar to your taste. For the beer, look for a beer light in flavor and hoppiness.
