Beer Cocktails & Garnish

12 oz cold premium lager (e.g., Kokanee or similar)1/2 oz Fresh lime juice1/4 oz simple syrup (1:1 sugar to water)2 dashes orange bitters1/2 tsp coarse salt or seasoned salt (for rim)1 each lime wedge (for rim and garnish)4 cubes ice (optional for serving glass)

Method

Beer Cocktails & Garnish

Prepare glass

If you prefer a salted rim, rub the lime wedge around the outer rim of a chilled pint or beer glass. Pour the coarse or seasoned salt onto a small plate, then gently press the rim into the salt so it adheres evenly. If you prefer no rim, skip this step.

Build base

Pour the fresh lime juice (0.5 oz) and simple syrup (0.25 oz) into the bottom of the prepared glass. Add 2 dashes of orange bitters. If using ice, add 4 ice cubes now—note that ice will chill but also slightly dilute the beer; for minimal dilution serve without ice.

Add beer

Slowly pour 12 oz of cold premium lager (Kokanee or similar) into the glass over the back of a spoon or by tilting the glass slightly to reduce foaming. Pour gently to preserve carbonation and avoid overflow.

Finish & garnish

Give the drink a very gentle stir (one or two slow swirls) to integrate the lime, syrup and bitters without flattening the beer. Squeeze the reserved lime wedge over the top for a final burst of aroma, then drop it into the glass as garnish. Serve immediately while cold and effervescent.
