Overview

Limona Corona is a citrus-driven beer cocktail that combines the light, crisp body of Corona with the sweet, zesty punch of Bacardi Limón. Bright and easy-drinking, it keeps a clean lager finish while adding a more pronounced lime-forward lift.

Preparation Method

Open the bottle of Corona and remove a small amount of beer to create space in the neck. Pour the Bacardi Limon into the bottle, then squeeze a lime wedge into the bottle and drop the wedge in. Seal the bottle with your thumb or palm and very slowly invert it once, or gently roll it between your hands to integrate without triggering excess foam. Pour into a chilled beer glass and serve immediately.
