We gave Mexican lager the slushie treatment—and we think you'll agree it's fantastic.
Ingredients
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup lime juice
1/2 cup water
2 355-mL bottles Corona beer, plus extra for whirling
Instructions
BOIL sugar, lime juice and water in a saucepan until sugar dissolves. Cool slightly, then stir in beer. It should measure 4 cups. Pour into a 9 × 5-in. loaf pan. Freeze until just firm, about 6 hours. To serve, use a fork to break frozen mixture into chunks. Whirl on high in blender, adding more beer or water, 1 tbsp at a time, until mixture is slushy. Pour into four glasses and serve with lime wedges.
