Cocktail base

2 oz blanco tequila1 oz Fresh lime juice1 oz orange liqueur (Cointreau or triple sec)1/4 oz agave syrup (optional, for balance)1 cup ice (for shaking)

Glass & finish

1 each small Coronita / Corona Extra (7 oz / 210 ml) bottle, chilled1 tbs coarse salt (for rimming)1 each lime wedge (for rimming and garnish)1 cup ice (for glass)

Method

Cocktail base

Prepare and shake

Cut the lime wedge in half. Run one lime half around the rim of a large rocks or margarita glass to moisten. Spread the coarse salt on a small plate and dip the moistened rim into the salt to create a salted rim. Set glass aside.

Add 2 oz blanco tequila, 1 oz fresh lime juice, 1 oz orange liqueur, and 0.25 oz agave syrup (if using) into a cocktail shaker. Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup).

Shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is frosty and well chilled.

Fill the prepared glass with fresh ice (about 1 cup). Strain the shaken margarita into the glass, leaving room at the top so the beer bottle can be inverted without overflowing (aim to fill glass roughly 3/4 full).

Glass & finish

Open the chilled Coronita/Corona and immediately invert the bottle into the margarita. If desired, partially elevate the bottle so it stands at an angle in the drink (you can use a lime wedge across the rim to help secure it). The beer will slowly flow into the cocktail as you drink.

Garnish with the remaining lime half on the rim. Serve with a straw or sip directly from the glass, advising guests to tip the bottle upright occasionally if flow slows.

Enjoy responsibly. This recipe yields one Coronita Margarita.
