Ginger Margarita

I have 2 main problems with most margaritas. 

1. They are too sweet.

2. I hate the salted rim.

I know I'm probably going against the grain with both of those comments, but that's how I roll. It's why I chose ginger beer. You can use ginger ale, it'll still be tasty, but a good ginger beer is much spicier, less sweet, with really pungent ginger flavor. Since I don't use simple syrup or any other sweeteners in the drink, it allows me to do a sugar rim on the glass, which I find just as pretty and much tastier than salt. Also, I like how clean and frothy the drink looks. It's very pale since I used white tequila (any tequila you like will work) with a pale ginger beer, but don't let that fool you. It does pack a punch. A deliciously zippy punch, rounded out by a good amount of fresh squeezed lime. This drink is so simple and refreshing, it's perfect for sipping in the summer sun. 

• 2 oz tequila
• 1/2 oz fresh lime juice 
• 3 oz ginger beer 
• slice or wedge of lime for garnish
• sugar for the rim
