Yield: Serves 4
Ingredients
  • ½ cup lemon juice (~4 lemons)
  • 2 green chillies (use jalapeños or serrano peppers instead, if you like)
  • 2 tsp Tobasco hot-sauce
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tsp brine from a pickled Jalapeños jar
  • 2 tbsp tamarind juice, for the rim (you can use lemon juice or a wedge of lemon instead)
  • salt & red chilli powder (cayenne pepper) for the rim
  • Ice
  • 4 pints (330 ml each) of chilled lager beer
  • Lemon wedges and pickled jalapeños for garnish
  • Glassware:
  • 500 ml Mason Jars with Handle
  • Cocktail Sticks
  • Equipment Used:
  • Lemon Squeezer
Instructions
  1. In a small mixing bowl, squeeze the lemon juice.
  2. Halve & score the green chillies. You can remove the seeds if you want less heat. Add these to the lemon juice.
  3. Add the Worcestershire sauce, Tobasco sauce and brine and mix well. Let this sit for 20-30 minutes to allow the chillies to infuse.
  4. Put the tamarind juice in a small shallow plate and the salt+chilli powder in another one. Dip the rim of the clean glasses, first in the tamarind juice and then in the salt-chilli mix. If you don't have tamarind juice or don't want to use it, you can rub the rim with a lemon wedge before dipping it in the salt-chilli mix.
  5. Divide the lemon-chilli juice amidst the 4 glasses and fill with ice.
  6. Add in the beer and stir.
  7. Garnish with lemon wedges and pickled jalapeños on a cocktail stick and serve right away.
