A tangy, spicy, and refreshing beer cocktail with a signature Tajín rim, perfect for summer and easy to make in just 10 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz Mexican lager (Modelo, Corona, or Pacifico)
  • 4 oz tomato juice
  • 1 oz fresh lime juice
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp hot sauce (Cholula or Valentina recommended)
  • 1 tsp soy sauce or Maggi seasoning
  • 2 tbsp Tajín seasoning (for rimming the glass)
  • 1 tsp celery salt (optional, for rim)
  • Ice cubes (enough to fill glass comfortably)
  • Garnishes: lime wedges, cucumber slices, jalapeño slices, or celery stalk

Instructions

  1. Run a lime wedge around the rim of your glass to moisten it.
  2. Mix Tajín and celery salt evenly on a shallow plate.
  3. Dip the moistened rim into the seasoning mix, twisting gently to coat well. Set aside.
  4. Fill the glass about halfway with ice cubes (1 to 1.5 cups).
  5. In a separate mixing glass or bowl, combine tomato juice, fresh lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and soy sauce or Maggi seasoning. Stir gently to blend.
  6. Slowly pour the tomato and seasoning mixture over the ice in the prepared glass, filling about 1/3 of the glass.
  7. Slowly pour chilled Mexican lager into the glass, tilting slightly to preserve carbonation, filling the rest of the glass.
  8. Gently stir with a long spoon or stirrer to combine flavors without losing fizz.
  9. Garnish with lime wedge on the rim, celery stalk, cucumber slices, or jalapeño rings as desired.
  10. Serve immediately for the freshest flavor.

Notes

Use fresh lime juice for best flavor. Adjust hot sauce and soy sauce to taste to control spice and saltiness. Pour beer slowly to preserve carbonation. Prepare tomato and seasoning base up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerate. Use light Mexican lagers for best results. Non-alcoholic beer or sparkling water can be used for a mocktail version.
