Chatelaine Triple Tested

Barbecues and hot summer afternoons call for icy-cold patio drinks, and we've got a new favourite! This lovely take on lager is chilled perfection.

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.
