Notes
- Mexican lager: A light Mexican lager is best for making cheladas. Corona, Modelo, Tecate, and Sol are all great options!
- Ice: This is optional and has the potential to water down the drink if it’s left sitting for a while. If you don’t want to use ice because of this, make sure the beer and lime juice is extra cold.
