Method

Beer

Prepare glass

Chill a tall pilsner or highball glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it briefly with ice water while you prepare other components. If using a salted or seasoned rim, rub a lime wedge around the top lip of the glass, then dip the rim into coarse salt or Tajín spread on a small plate. Discard any excess.

Add ice

If you prefer your Pacifico served with ice (regional preference varies), add 4–6 large ice cubes to the chilled or rimmed glass. If you prefer no ice, skip this step.

Pour beer

Open the bottle of Pacifico. Tilt the glass to a 45° angle and pour the beer slowly down the side to preserve carbonation and create a moderate head. Straighten the glass as it fills and finish pouring to form a 1/2–1 inch (1–2 cm) head. If using ice, pour gently to reduce foaming.

Garnish and finish

Squeeze a lime wedge over the beer to release a small amount of juice (optional) and drop the wedge into the glass or serve it on the rim. Taste and add additional lime or a light sprinkle of Tajín if desired.

Serve immediately while cold. One bottle makes one serving. Consume responsibly.
