Squeeze the juice out into a shaker, add a generous shot of
tequila, a scant shot of triple sec, and some crushed ice, then
shake. Pour it into a glass and enjoy.
Oh, and forget abnout the Corona. It's just a trendy bland
lager (IMO).
FWIW, when I lived in south Texas I recall only one beer was
served with a lime, and it wasn't Corona (maybe Tecate?). The
lime thing I see as just another part of the fad.

I think the "proper" way, that I've seen is to stick the lime
into the neck of the bottle - but I wouldn't do it.
I don't mind Corona for what it is...it doesn't taste bad.
But I'd do without the lime.

lime in the
bottle and third you thumb the bottle turning the bottle upside down
spreading the juice
all around.
You should try adding a dab or two of (TAPATIO) hot sauce to spice it up.
Try it will improve the taste of a Corona.
Tapatio is a great hot sauce. The label is a mexican man with a hat.

You're kiddng right? Corona is the worst beer that comes out of
Mexico. The reason you put the Lime in there in the first place is to
"Kill" the crappy taste. From What I understand (Have lived in
Arizonia) Women didn't like the taste of beer. And Corona Being
about the cheapest beer around in bars. In comes a Gimmic of the
lime. "Tada!!" a new Fad. I never thought it would last this long
though. Harsh (Yes, squeeze it then push it, otherwise the lime
juice will just stay in the Slice)

To be sure Corona is nasty w/o lime but every now and then I get a
craving. I take one lime wedge and squeeze all its juice in. Then get
a second wedge, squeeze partly and stick in bottle. Put your thumb
over the mouth of the bottle and turn upside down to spread the juice.
Two slices make it *very* lime-y but the only way to drink it IMHO.

placed on top of the bottle. This fad started out as a easy way to keep
flies out of your beer (this is a big problem south of the border). The
squeezing of the lime and putting in the bottle just resulted over time in
the US.

The lore in Mexico, I've heard, is this: many local water supplies
are not quite up to US standards of sanitization, hence the traveler's
advisory "don't drink the water" for avoiding Montezuma's Revenge.
People avoiding the water are drinking things out of bottles and cans --
coke and beer. Bottles and cans are not infrequently stored on ice,
and the ice is made -- from the water you're not supposed to drink.
Hence, if you drink from the bottle, you can potentially pick up interesting
beasties from the water around the mouth of the bottle. The practice of
jamming a lime in the bottleneck theoretically killed off these beasties
with acid -- hence, lime with your brew. Gringo tourists, ignorant of the
rationale for the lime assumed that it was to be added to the -beer-,
and they continued doing in in the US, where the original reason for
using lime didn't exist.
As I say, this is the lore -- I can't speak to the actual efficacy of
this practice.

I was waiting on this fly nonsense because this lime thing
keeps being brought up.
Isn't someone going to post the one about how the bartender
runs the lime around the lip of the bottle to steralize it and then
puts the slice in the neck to show it has been done -- that's another
good one.
It has gotten so silly that now I see the lime slice in good
beers like Negra Modelo and Dos Equis -- in the US, of course. I
usually tell them if they are going to give me a slice of lime I
didn't ask for why haven't they given me the shot of tequila I didn't
ask for.
I spend a fair amount of time below the US border and this
lime thing is somekind of silly silly.

See! I told you guys that someone would post the sanitizating
bit. :o)
We just need one more to have them all. I think it has
something to do with lime juice and lime powder and small gnats.
It was a funny one, too.

One other popular reason for the lime is that you can get sick from
drinking out of the beer bottle in Mexico. This is because the water
that is used to make the ice that chils the beer in Mexico has
bacteria in it. When the ice melts on the beer bottle the bacteria
gets on the neck of the bottle and around the cap. After opening the
bottle a lime was wiped around the mouth of the bottle to kill the
bacteria. The acids in the lime would kill the bacteria and make the
beer safe to drink out of the bottle.
BTW: Corona really is the worst beer in Mexico.

If you are liming a lager to be more attractive to women and
to appear intelligent as well, then you just turned off some of those
women recently attracted to you.
Consequently, the vim and vigor attained might do you no good.
And if you are trying to attract women in a bar, scurvy will
be the least of your problems.
But at least you lime improves the taste -- the only viable
reason offered. :o)

have the mexicans considered using an anti-bacterial wipe on the top of the
bottle and having some of those dangling fly strips or a bug zapper and
drinking something that doesn't taste like used budweiser?
