Tips

• To make homemade simple syrup, in a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup (125 mL) granulated sugar and 1/2 cup (125 mL) water. Simmer over medium heat, stirring, until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool before using. Syrup can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 1 month.
• To add a salt rim to your beer margarita, cut a slit crosswise through centre of a lime wedge and rub around rim of empty glass. Sprinkle about 1 tsp (5 mL) salt onto a small plate; invert glass and rotate moistened edge in salt to coat.
