Loaded Tecate

TJ Lynch, Mother's Ruin | New York City

Beer Can Cocktail Recipe

When TJ Lynch bought the space that would become Mother’s Ruin over a decade ago, he discovered a case of Tecate left behind in the refrigerator by the previous owners. Recalling a trend started by Toby Maloney years prior that consisted of putting salt and lime on top of a beer can—a nod to Maloney’s years spent in Texas—Lynch ran to the corner bodega to pick up some Cholula (“my all-time favorite hot sauce,” says Lynch), and from then on, the Loaded Tecate has been a signature of Mother’s Ruin.
