Ingredients
- 2 ounces tequila
- 1.5 ounces fresh lime juice
- 1 ounce orange liqueur (e.g., Cointreau or Triple Sec)
- 0.5 ounces simple syrup
- 6 ounces light beer (e.g., lager or pale ale)
- 1 tablespoon coarse sea salt (for rim)
- 2 pieces lime wedges
- 1 cup ice
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the glass. Use one lime wedge to moisten the rim of a large margarita or pint glass.
Step 2
Dip the moistened rim into a shallow plate of coarse sea salt to coat it evenly. Set the glass aside.
Step 3
In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, fresh lime juice, orange liqueur, and simple syrup.
Step 4
Add a generous handful of ice to the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to chill and mix the ingredients.
Step 5
Fill the prepared glass about halfway with fresh ice cubes.
Step 6
Strain the tequila mixture from the shaker into the glass over the ice.
Step 7
Slowly pour the light beer over the tequila mixture, tilting the glass slightly to preserve the carbonation and create a nice blend.
Step 8
Gently stir the drink to combine the layers without losing too much fizz.
Step 9
Garnish the rim with a fresh lime wedge and serve immediately.
