Fresh And Tart Chelada (Mexican Lime And Beer Cocktail).
Recipe.

Ingredients:

Kosher or sea salt
2 ounces (60ml) fresh juice from 2 limes (see note), half a juiced lime reserved for the rim
1 (12-ounce; 355ml) can or bottle light Mexican beer, such as Modelo, Pacífico, Tecate, Victoria, or Corona, well chilled

Recipe Instructions:

Pour kosher or sea 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.
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.
Special equipment
Pint glass or pilsner glass
Notes
If you want a less tart version of the drink, experiment with using less lime juice—1 or 1 1/2 ounces can work, too.
This.
