Ingredients

1 lime, halved
2 tablespoons coarse salt (such as kosher or sea salt)
1 teaspoon chili powder (or Tajín seasoning)
Ice cubes
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
2 dashes hot sauce (such as Tabasco or Valentina)
2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon soy sauce (optional)
1 (12-ounce) bottle Mexican lager (such as Corona, Modelo, or Pacifico)

Instructions

Run a lime wedge around the rim of a chilled pint glass. On a small plate, mix salt and chili powder. Dip the rim into the mixture to coat evenly.
Fill the glass with ice cubes.
Add fresh lime juice, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce (if using). Stir gently to combine.
Slowly pour the beer into the glass, tilting to minimize foam.
Stir once more, garnish with a lime wedge, and serve immediately.

Tips

For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne or sliced jalapeño.
Use a chilled glass to keep the drink cold longer.
Adjust hot sauce and Worcestershire to taste.
