Your favorite beer has splashed and twisted its way into your summer in a whole new way – as a margarita! The Bud Light Rita’s are a tasty beer margarita packed with bright flavors and good times. You can find Rita’s in an assortment of flavors, including lime, strawberry, watermelon, lemonade, mango, and raspberry.
While the Rita’s are great on their own (and easy to pack for a day on the lake), we also love them for their ability to mix. You can pair your Rita with just about anything to make a fantastic summer cocktail.
