Method
Cocktail
Prepare glass
Chill a tall beer glass or pint glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes, or fill it with ice and water while you prepare the rest of the ingredients to ensure the beer stays cold longer.
Mix base
In a mixing glass or shaker, combine the fresh lime juice and simple syrup (if using). Add the ice and gently stir or swirl to chill and slightly dilute the citrus - do not shake vigorously with beer.
Build drink
Discard ice and water from the chilled serving glass if used. Strain the chilled lime-syrup mixture into the serving glass over fresh ice (or leave glass empty if you prefer beer-only style).
Add beer
Slowly pour the chilled light lager beer down the side of the glass to preserve carbonation. Aim for about 2 cups (one standard 12–16 oz bottle/can plus a splash). Leave a little headroom for the lime mixture and to avoid overflow.
Finish and serve
Gently stir once with a long spoon to combine lime and beer without flattening the beer. Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim. Serve immediately while cold and bubbly.
