Adding lime to beer has long been a Mexican tradition. The Michelada is a cerveza preparada made
with beer, lime juice and assorted sauces, spices and peppers, served in a
chilled, salt-rimmed glass. Recipes vary from town to town, family to family.
The big brewers have recognized the growing popularity of “spicing up” beer
with such brands as Miller Brewing Company’s “Miller Chill”, and
Anheuser-Busch’s Budweiser Chelada and Bud Light Chelada. Tecate, the Mexican
brewer, flavors their Michelada with lime and spices as well.
Any lager, pilsner or “hoppy” IPAs can have the same bright
taste sensation by rimming the bottle neck or glass with Twang’s lemon,
lemon-lime or “hot lime” beer salts. You
“dress” the beer by rubbing the rim of the glass or the opening of the bottle
with any citrus juice, (or just moisten it with your tongue,) and sprinkle on
the salt.
All three Twang flavors come in the cutest little 3” high “long neck” bottles packed either in a 24 bottle counter display, a hanging display or a little 3 pack.

Twang is a natural product consisting of salt, citric acid
and natural citrus flavor. The hot “Caliente 86”, (named for the year the
Trevinos introduced Twang,) has natural cayenne pepper. The lemon and the
lemon/lime flavors also come in a display of 200 little single-serve packets.
Use it just as you do the bottled Twang. You can even add it to chicken
veggies, chips, popcorn, you name it, to brighten up the flavor of those foods.
Moran USA also
carries Twang brand’s Margaritaville Salts and Twangarita Bloody Mary and Lemon-Lime rimming salts.
The folks at Twang want to share with you the recipes for
