Corona Zero Recipe

Chill and rim (optional)

Place a corona-style longneck bottle or a narrow pint glass in the freezer for 10–15 minutes to chill. If you want a salted rim, rub the lime wedge around the bottle neck or glass rim, then roll the wet rim in coarse salt to lightly coat.

Remove the chilled bottle or glass from the freezer. If using a glass, fill it with ice if desired (traditional Corona is served without ice; use ice only if you prefer a colder, more diluted drink).

If using the optional brightenings, add 1/2 tablespoon fresh lime juice and 1/2 teaspoon agave or simple syrup to the glass (or pour into the mouth of the bottle carefully). These enhance the non-alcoholic lager's flavor but are not required.

Slowly pour 12 oz chilled non-alcoholic pale lager into the glass. If serving from a bottle, simply open the bottle and serve as-is; pour gently to preserve carbonation if you prefer it in a glass.

Garnish with the lime wedge: either place the wedge on the rim or squeeze it into the beer just before drinking to add brightness.

Serve immediately while cold. Encourage the drinker to squeeze the lime into the bottle or glass to taste. If salted rim was used, sip from the salted edge for contrast.
