Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Beer (lager or pale ale recommended)
- 1.5 oz Vodka
- 0.75 oz Orange liqueur (such as Triple Sec)
- 0.5 oz Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.25 oz Simple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 piece Lime wedge
- 1 pinch Salt (optional, for rim)
- 1 cup Ice
Instructions
If desired, rim the glass with salt: Rub the lime wedge around the rim of a pint glass, then dip the rim into a small plate of salt to coat. Set aside.
Fill the glass halfway with ice to keep the drink chilled.
Pour the vodka, orange liqueur, lime juice, and simple syrup (if using) into the glass.
Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
Slowly fill the rest of the glass with the beer, tilting the glass slightly to minimize foam. Leave a small gap at the top.
Stir lightly once more to integrate the flavors, being careful not to agitate the beer too much.
Garnish with the lime wedge and serve immediately.
