Instructions

1. Preparation: Begin by pre-chilling the ingredients.
- PT10M
10 minutes
Chill the lime juice and beer in the refrigerator. For optimal flavor infusion, it's beneficial to use cold ingredients.

2. Create the salt blend.
- PT5M
5 minutes
In a small bowl, mix the coarse sea salt and kosher salt. Stir well to combine and set aside. This blend will provide a perfect balance of texture and flavor for the snack.

3. Infuse the drink with lime.
- PT2M
2 minutes
In a wide-mouth pitcher, combine the chilled lime juice and the beer. Gently stir to integrate flavors. Avoid excessive stirring to maintain the carbonation of the beer.

4. Simmer the mixture.
- PT15M
15 minutes
Pour the mixture into a saucepan and place it on the stove over medium heat. Allow the liquid to gently simmer. The goal here is to slightly concentrate the flavors, not boil off the alcohol. Stir occasionally.

5. Season with the salt blend.
- PT2M
2 minutes
Sprinkle a generous amount of the prepared salt blend into the simmering mixture. Taste and adjust based on preference. Remember, the salt should enhance, not overpower.

6. Final Chill and Serve.
- PT20M
20 minutes
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature. Transfer it back to the pitcher and refrigerate until ready to serve. For optimal taste, garnish the beverage with lime wedges and serve alongside additional salt for dipping or rimming glasses.
