Dos Corona Xx Lager Recipe

1. Salt or Tajín the rim

If you prefer a salted or seasoned rim, pour the coarse salt or chili-lime seasoning onto a small plate. Rub the cut edge of the lime around the rim of a chilled pint glass, then press the rim into the salt or seasoning to coat evenly. Set the glass aside.

2. If you prefer your Dos Corona XX served over ice, add about 1 cup of fresh ice to the prepared glass. Otherwise skip the ice to keep the beer colder and less diluted.

3. Chill and open

Ensure the Corona bottles are well chilled (ideally 45–50°F / 7–10°C). When ready to serve, hold one bottle upright and use a bottle opener to remove the cap cleanly.

4. Add a lime

Cut the lime in half. Squeeze one half of the lime gently into the open bottle or into the glass if using one, allowing a small amount of juice to enter. Drop the squeezed half into the bottle or place it on the rim of the glass. For a bolder citrus flavor, squeeze both halves and drop one or both into the bottles.

5. Pour (if using a glass)

If you prepared a glass, pour the beer slowly down the side of the glass to preserve carbonation, leaving a small head. If not using a glass, simply enjoy directly from the bottle with the lime wedge on the rim or inside.

6. Serve the second bottle

Repeat the opening and lime step for the second bottle just before handing it out so both beers are as fresh and fizzy as possible.

7. Garnish each serving with an additional lime wedge on the rim if desired.

8. For a spiced variation, rim the glass with chili-lime seasoning (Tajín) instead of salt. You can also sprinkle a tiny pinch of seasoning into the beer after squeezing lime for a savory note.

9. Drink responsibly. Keep extra limes and an opener nearby for easy refills.
