Ingredients

Tajín or other chili-salt blend

Kosher or sea salt

2 ounces , half a juiced lime reserved for the rim

2 teaspoons ; see note

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1 can or bottle light Mexican beer, such as Modelo, Pacífico, Tecate, Victoria, or Corona, well chilled

Directions

Pour Tajín or salt into a small, shallow dish in an even layer. Rub a pint or pilsner glass's rim with the cut side of the reserved juiced lime half, then dip glass into the dish to create a salt rim. Set glass right side up and fill with lime juice, hot sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Add a pinch or two of salt, fill glass with ice, and top with beer. Stir gently if you want to mix it up a bit. Serve with remaining beer, topping up as you drink.
