How-to
- Have a bowl of water and plate of kosher salt ready
- Salt the rim of a pint glass by first wetting the rim with the water and then swirling the glass rim in the plate of kosher salt
- Fill glass ⅔ full of ice
- Pour lime juice and sauces over the ice
- Garnish with a slice of lime and pour in ¾ of the bottle of beer
- For an extra kick, top with freshly-cracked black pepper (optional)
- Stir and serve with the opened bottle of remaining beer
Preparing For Parties
- Pre-mix the seasonings for party-goers to add to the glasses themselves so that the host doesn’t have to mix drinks during the entire duration of the party
- Salt pint glass rims as above and add ice to the glasses
- Garnish glasses with wedges of lime
- Have a shot glass ready and the mix available, along with beers on ice. Guests should pour a scant shot (almost 3 tbsp) of the mix into each glass and grab a beer to pour
