Pinachelada
Summer 2023
Bartenders in the world’s miche hotspots like Mexico City, L.A. and Texas are playing around endlessly with new flavour combinations. Beer, pineapple juice, lime juice and hot sauce? It’s a no-brainer hot-weather sipper you’ll be sure has been around forever. But it hasn’t.

Combine 2 tbsp (30 mL) kosher salt and the finely grated zest of 1 lime on a small plate; use this mixture to rim a frozen beer mug. Add 1/2 cup (125 mL) chopped pineapple and 1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt to the mug and muddle well. Stir in a dash or two Mexican hot sauce and 1 1/2 oz lime juice. Fill glass two thirds full with ice. Using a chilled 355-mL can or bottle of Mexican lager, top with a little beer and stir. Fill to the rim with more beer and garnish with pineapple leaf. Serve remaining beer alongside.
