Here's one recipe I have:
Poor Man's Margaritas
1 Bottle of Corona Beer (no substitutes)
1 bottle margarita mix
1 liter of 7 UP
2-3 shots of Tequila (optional)
Mix together in the Quick Stir pitcher. Use equal parts of margarita mix and 7 Up. slice up 2-3 limes and cut in half. Swipe the rim of a glass with the lime and dip in margarita salt. Put in ice cubes and pour margarita's over.
Another recipe I found is Hop, Skip and Go Nakeds:
24.0 oz Beer
12.0 oz frozen Lemonade
12.0 oz Vodka
Good luck!

Frequently Asked Questions
What ingredients do I need to make the perfect punch with limeade and beer?
To make the perfect punch with limeade and beer, you will need limeade concentrate, your choice of beer (a light lager or wheat beer works well), fresh lime slices for garnish, and ice. Optionally, you can add fresh mint leaves for an extra refreshing touch.
How do I mix the limeade and beer for the punch?
Start by preparing the limeade according to the package instructions, using water to dilute the concentrate. In a large punch bowl, combine the prepared limeade with the beer. Stir gently to mix, being careful not to lose too much carbonation from the beer.
Can I make this punch in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the limeade in advance and keep it refrigerated. However, it's best to mix the limeade and beer just before serving to maintain the beer's carbonation. If you want to prepare it ahead of time, consider adding the beer right before serving.
What type of beer works best for this punch?
Light lagers and wheat beers are ideal for this punch as they complement the sweetness of the limeade without overpowering it. Avoid darker or heavier beers, as they may alter the flavor profile of the punch.
Can I customize the punch with additional flavors?
Absolutely! You can customize your punch by adding fresh fruits like berries or citrus slices, or even a splash of fruit juice like pineapple or orange juice. Herbs like mint or basil can also enhance the flavor and presentation of your punch.
