Method

Cocktail

1

Prepare glass

Run a lime wedge around the rim of a tall Collins or highball glass, then dip the rim into coarse salt to coat about half to three-quarters of the rim. Fill the glass about halfway with cubed ice and set aside.

2

Shake base

In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz blanco tequila, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, 0.5 oz agave syrup, and 0.5 oz orange liqueur. Add a handful of ice, secure the lid, and shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until well chilled.

3

Strain and top with beer

Double-strain the shaken mixture into the prepared glass over the ice. Slowly top with 4 oz Pacifico beer (or another light Mexican lager) poured down the side to preserve carbonation. Gently stir once with a bar spoon to integrate.

4

Garnish and serve

Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim. Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer so drinker can adjust beer-to-cocktail ratio to taste.
