Gentleman Jim's Killer Margaritas

6 ounces 1/2 of a large can of frozen lime-ade (Minute Maid is best)
6 6-8 ounces your favorite tekillya (tequila)
4 ounces triple-sec
1 ounce orange curacao or Grand Marnier
2 2-4 ounces beer (I prefer Dos Equis, or flat beer is just fine
club soda enough to fill the pitcher
lime wedges
salt for glass rims

In a one-quart pitcher, place 6 ounces (1/2 of a large can) of frozen lime-ade (Minute Maid is the best). Add 6 to 8 ounces (I use a double shot glass for measuring) of your favorite tekillya (tequila), 4 ounces of triple-sec, 1 ounce of orange curacao or Grand Marnier, and ..... the secret ingredient ....., 2 to 4 ounces of beer, I prefer Dos Equis (flat beer is just fine). Add enough club soda to fill the pitcher, mix with a long handled spoon. Add lime slices or wedges if desired. Salt glass rims if desired. Fill glasses with ice and serve the margaritas. Enjoy! I serve my margaritas 'on the rocks', almost never do I do 'frozen margaritas'.
However, I have provided instructions below for making frozen margaritas.

If you want to salt the rims, use Rose's Lime Juice to wet the rim. Rose's Lime will allow the salt to stick better than it will if you just rub a lime wedge on the rim. If you are using plastic glasses, the Rose's Lime is a must. A lime wedge will not allow the salt to stick on a plastic glass. You can make your own temporary rimmer by placing a few napkins on a small plate. Wet the napkins with Rose's Lime. Wet the glass rims by pressing and rotating the glass rim on the napkins. Then dip the glass rims in the margarita salt. This will work just as well as the commercial rimmer that you see in bars. I have worked as a bartender and we used napkins when the sponge was worn out or missing.

Bartender secret technique for frozen margaritas (or any other frozen drink): To obtain exactly enough frozen margarita to just fill the glass, fill the glass just to the top with ice cubes or crushed ice. Add all the other necessary ingredients in the glass to fill it to the top. Dump
everything in the blender. After blending, you will have exactly the right amount of frozen drink to fill the glass.
