MAKES 1

A hot-weather refresher, this beer cocktail from Mexico can range in form from a chunky, tomato-rich version like a bloody mary to a lighter brew spiked with hot sauce and lime, as in this recipe from David Wondrich, SAVEUR's wine and spirits editor.

1 lime wedge
Kosher salt
1 tbsp. lime juice
1/4 tsp. Worcestershire
1/4 tsp. Mexican hot sauce,
   such as Cholula
1/4 tsp. Maggi seasoning
1 bottle Mexican lager,
   such as Tecate

1. Rub the rim of a tall glass with a lime wedge. Dip the rim of the glass into a small bowl of kosher salt. Add cracked ice, lime juice, worcestershire, hot sauce, and Maggi seasoning.

2. Pour in beer just shy of the salt rim. Stir to combine.
