Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 bottle (12 oz) Mexican lager-style beer
- 4 tablespoons Tomato juice
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon Hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Clamato juice (optional)
- 2 teaspoons Tajín seasoning or chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 6 pieces Ice cubes
- 1 piece Lime wedge
Instructions
Place the Tajín seasoning (or chili powder) and salt in a small shallow plate and mix to combine.
Run a lime wedge along the rim of a tall glass to moisten it, then dip the rim into the seasoning mixture to coat.
Fill the glass about halfway with ice cubes.
Add the tomato juice, lime juice, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and (if using) Clamato juice to the glass. Stir gently to combine.
Slowly pour the beer over the mixture to fill the glass. Stir gently again to mix the flavors without losing too much carbonation.
Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass and serve immediately.
