In terms of equipment, all you need is a beer mug and a stirring rod.
Our key element here is the Mexican beer – its lightness adds body without making it heavy. Fresh lime juice brings out that quintessential tangy flavor, soy sauce is your route to umami, Worcestershire for that depth and hot sauce for a little sass. You can substitute soy sauce with tamari or Worcestershire sauce with a mix of apple cider vinegar and tamarind paste for a similar flavor profile.
