Beer margarita with hot sauce

I can't remember the Mexican name for this drink right now, but it starts w/ an E'. Anyway on a hot and muggy day this goes down the gullet like nothing else in this world.
Ingredients:
1) Lime to prime the edges of the glass. (Pint glass recommended)
2) Kosher chunky salt
3) Ice
4) Beer
5) A hit of Worcester sauce. There is another Mexican alternative that is a similar steak to sauce.
6) El picante. Tabasco or some hot on top.
7) Squeeze and drop the rest of the lime in and enjoy the bliss on your lips. Don't drink too many as it may do a number on your stomach. But damn is it good going down.

Goes with anything you like to grill during the summer months or at the beach especially.

Enjoy.

Summer Beer choices Landshark vs Summer Shandy

To kick off this Summer I hit up the local boozery store with a mixed case of summer beer six packs. One of the re-occurring beers is going to be Jimmy Buffet's Island Landshark. great detail on the bottle. Does not feel as heavy as Corona Extra and tasted great with a lime. $6 price-point. The other beer, I fell in love with this Father's day was a lemon summer Shandy from Wisconsin with the zingy flavor already in it! So when i invite you to a bar-b-q you will know what to bring. It's basically a light wheat beer with the twist in it.

Other good choices are Modelos in the can, Dixie from New Orleans (one step above a PBR) and reasonable sixer price point. If you want to get a little fancier Brooklyn Summer Ale is pretty good but find it a little bitter. My old standby when it is really hot is Miller Lite. Yes, this beer snob also knows how to economize when it is sweltering and you just want a guzzler with all the taste of a Budweiser and less calories. A ML pounder is the beer of choice during cocktail hour on the train ride home from Manhattan. Nothing fancy and no hang-over the next day.
