Desperados the name of the beer.

Two weeks ago, I saw this beer on the menu in my local Mexican restaurant, so I ordered some. Boy did I love it. In comes in a clear 330ml bottle, looking rather like a Corona bootle.

Tastewise it is something rather different. The beer is crisp and clear rather like, say Sol but its uniqueness stems from its citrus twist. This makes it taste like shandy - quite refreshing, especially with a hot fajita. But get this - it contains a shot of tequila so it packs a whopping 5.9% ABV.
Depending on how you look at it, this could be a disadvantage as you think you are drinking something weaker than it really is.

So now this is my favourite party beer. Being a fickle so and so my favourite changes from week to week but with this beer I am unable to buy it anywhere else other than my local Mexican restaurant and I have tried!

However, on a recent trip to Paris, I discovered it's dark secret. In Monoprix, Paris's answer to M&S it is sold in 660ml bottles! Here's the rub, this Mexican beer is actually made in France.

Maybe I can forgive this.

So if you are having a Mexican party, try to get some of this for you and your amigos, you're party will be a legend.
