Method
Chill & Preparation
Chill beer
Refrigerate the Modelo Negro for at least 2 hours before serving. For faster chilling, place bottle or can in an ice-water bath for 10–15 minutes.
Prepare glass (optional)
If using a glass and you like a salted rim, wet the rim with a lime wedge and dip lightly into salt. Otherwise, ensure the glass is clean and chilled in the refrigerator for 15–30 minutes for a cooler pour.
Pouring & Serving
When the glass is roughly half full, tilt it upright and continue pouring into the center to form a 1/2 to 1-inch head (foam). Adjust pour speed to control foam level.
If desired, add a lime wedge on the rim or squeeze a small amount of lime into the beer to taste. Serve immediately.
If you prefer drinking from the bottle/can, simply chill and open, then drink directly. Do not pour if you want to preserve carbonation and aroma in the original container.
Optional Ice Service
If serving over ice (not traditional for Modelo Negro but common in very warm climates), fill a short glass with a few ice cubes, pour beer slowly over the ice, and enjoy. Note that ice will dilute and chill the beer quickly.
