Explain this to me. I've never fully understood why the fuck they put a piece of lemon or lime in the tip of your corona. And why I, and most other people, push it in so that the bottle CANNOT BE RECYCLED. (not that I care about the Earth, I just want to know..)
Re: I was sat here then wondering what drink was served with cake Until i realised the filters But as far as I'm aware, they never do that in UK! but i guess it's to add flavour to the crap drink you just bought.
Re: Usually, Corona beer is drank with a slice of lemon and salt. Don't ask me why, I don't even like it that much, but I know it's famous for this combo 0.o
Re: My boyfriend usually drinks it with lime, he puts it in the bottle then closes the bottle with his thumb and flips it over. But he prefers the powder lime flavor packets (i forgot what they're called) because most of the time people don't know how to cut limes skinny enough to fit in the bottle lol, but it's just for flavor
Its just for the flavor, it actually tastes better with the lime lol, it washes away that hops flavor
Its because back in the day when beer bottles were rusty and the flies were numerous, the mexicans would take a wedge of lemon to clean off the opening and to ward off the insects and to be sanitary. The acidic properties of lemon make it ideal for cleaning. -google i guess the tradition carried over. I personally think it makes it taste more crisp, might be a psychological thing.
I use limes... Quite Frankly I think lemons make it a little too sour. I cut it enough so it gets stuck in the neck about half an inch from the part you drink from. it seriously makes the drink taste better. have you tried drinking a Corona without lime. It is kind of on the biter side has a weird after taste. Its more of an extra add on that can make the drink better. omglook is also right thats what they traditionally did to keep flies out.
Well i've tried it without and with lime and its true that [lime corona > corona] Never tried with lemon though...too much yellow
Re: I actually started wondering the same thing for a few seconds lol. I am assuming it is for flavor, but those stupid little things barely add flavor to anything. If you really want "flavor" dump whatever you are drinking into some fruit punch or something.
It makes it taste better, yeah. If you've noticed a lot of companies are producing their beers with lime/lemon flavouring now. XD
I believe that they add a lime to the Corona to give it a good flavor. If you haven't tried it, it's good! ^_^
It's literally because it used to be a poor persons beer in Mexico and they put the lemon there to take away some of the bad taste, and now that it's commercialized and a big beer brand the tradition just stuck.
My fave restaurant has a lime bomber and it blasts the lime into the corona...It gets all the juice into the corona delish
My husband drinks Corona from time to time when in the mood for something other then the norm and he enjoys it those odd times. I cant stand beers or ales of any kind, ewwww. Prefer Rye and coke myself lol
Weirdest thing I have ever drank was corona and apple puckers mixed together, pretty strange but not bad.
