🥘 Ingredients

8 items

• 2 ounces tequila
• 1.5 ounces fresh lime juice
• 1 ounce orange liqueur (e.g., Cointreau or Triple Sec)
• 0.5 ounces simple syrup

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Begin by preparing the glass. Use one lime wedge to moisten the rim of a large margarita or pint glass.

2. Dip the moistened rim into a shallow plate of coarse sea salt to coat it evenly. Set the glass aside.

3. In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, fresh lime juice, orange liqueur, and simple syrup.

4. Add a generous handful of ice to the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to chill and mix the ingredients.

5. Fill the prepared glass about halfway with fresh ice cubes.

6. Strain the tequila mixture from the shaker into the glass over the ice.

7. Slowly pour the light beer over the tequila mixture, tilting the glass slightly to preserve the carbonation and create a nice blend.

8. Gently stir the drink to combine the layers without losing too much fizz.

9. Garnish the rim with a fresh lime wedge and serve immediately.
