Ingredients
- 1 bottle of beer (or lager) I used Corona
- ½ shot tequila
- 1 Lime (cut into small wedges)
- Lime cordial (optional)
Instructions
Pour a small amount of beer out of the beer bottle to make room for the tequila or just drink it.
Add a ½ a shot of tequila or less if you depending on preference. Push the lime wedge into the bottle and enjoy!
Alternatively, add a splash of lime cordial to the beer. It adds that tangy taste you get with a desperado but can also make it sweet. Try both versions and see what you think.

Enjoy responsibly, especially when mixing spirits with beer.
