To make the margarita, moisten the edge of your glass with a lime wedge and rim in the salt. Fill the glass with crushed ice. Add a few ice cubes to a cocktail shaker and add the tequila, Grand Marnier, simple syrup, blood orange juice, and lime juice. Shake for 20 seconds. Pour into the glass and and top with the beer.

Recipe Notes
*Makes a lot of extra simple syrup. Will keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks!
*If you want to make these pitcher-style for a crowd, I'd measure all of the margarita ingredients out for how many people you want to make them for, add everything to a pitcher, and chill the mixture in the fridge. When you're ready to serve, add the crushed ice and beer, and serve!
