Ingredients

  • 16 oz Chabela glass
  • Kosher salt
  • 1 Large lime
  • Ice
  • Mexican beer

Instructions

  • Take a 6-inch flat plate and add kosher salt. If you have a bar-style drink-rimmer at home, well done. Use that.
  • Cut lime in half. Use one half to moisten the rim of the glass. Dip the rim in kosher salt.
  • Add preferred amount of ice, but half- way is good enough.
  • Squeeze both halves of lime into glass over ice.
  • Add a pinch of salt.
  • Add your beer until it reaches the top.
  • Garnish with lime wedge.
  • Try to stop at one.

Notes

If you don't have a Chabela glass, no worries. Use any 16 oz tall glass that you can easily add salt to the rim.
