Calories: 21kcal
Ingredients
- 1 light lager beer preferably Mexican, such as Corona, Modelo, or Pacifico
- 1 large lime
- Salt to taste
- Ice
Instructions
Prepare the salt-rimmed glass by following these steps:
- a. Cut a lime in half and rub one of the halves around the rim of the glass to moisten it.
- b. Pour a sufficient amount of salt onto a flat plate. Place the moistened rim of the glass in the salt, rotating gently to adhere the salt to the rim.
- c. Remove excess salt by lightly shaking the glass or gently tapping the bottom.
- Fill the glass with ice up to approximately 3/4 of its capacity.
- Squeeze the lime over the ice in the glass. If you prefer it less tangy, you can use only half a lime.
- Slowly pour the beer into the glass, allowing the foam to settle before continuing to pour. Fill the glass to the brim, but be careful not to pour too quickly to avoid overflowing.
- Add a pinch of salt to taste.
- Gently stir the mixture with a spoon or a stirrer to combine all the ingredients.
