Nachorona

I like to think of myself as a man of leisure with a penchant for finding great ways to drink beer. Typically you’ll find that most additions to beer come in the form of fruit (Corona and lime or Blue Moon and orange) although you do run across your Irish Car Bombs and other beer cocktails.
The last weekend of my vacation presented many opportunities for said research. My friend Jeff was in town and with unusually warm weather we headed straight for Hermosa Beach. After building of up quite a thirst we headed on over to Hennessey’s Tavern for lunch on the patio.
After a couple of beers we were joined by two characters named Alex and Christina drinking one of the more interesting concoctions I have come across. Their order came to be what we dubbed the Nachorona.
The Nachorona is composed of 3 ingredients: an ice cold Corona, a wedge of lime, and most importantly Tabasco sauce.
To begin prepare your Corona in the normal fashion by squeezing the lime into the beer. Next, instead of inverting your beer to mix, add a few drops of Tabasco sauce and swish around to mix it together. To maximize your enjoyment drink from the side of the bottle where the Tabasco was poured in (you’ll see the trail). The result is nothing short of fantastic. It takes the light and refreshing taste of Corona and adds one heck of a kick.
After a few of these any sinus problems you may have had will be long gone and you will be all smiles enjoying the sunshine.
