Carbonated Mixer:

Instructions
- Prepare the glass exterior by moistening the rim with a fresh lime wedge, then delicately coat with coarse salt crystals for a tangy, textured finish.

- Crown the cocktail preparation with a splash of effervescent Sprite, blending the carbonated element seamlessly into the existing mixture.
- Fill sturdy glasses with abundant ice cubes, creating a frosty vessel for the vibrant libation.
- Carefully decant the pitcher’s contents over the ice, allowing the liquid to cascade and chill instantly.
- Enhance the visual appeal and flavor profile by artfully positioning fresh lime wedges along the glass rim, transforming the drink into a refreshing tropical experience.

Notes
- Customize the salt rim by using flavored salts like chili or smoked salt for an extra kick.
- Experiment with different beer varieties to create unique flavor profiles, such as a light lager or a citrusy wheat beer.
