Drunken Salsa, known in México as ‘Salsa Borracha’, is very special and different because it we add beer in it! 🍺
And the best part is that most of the ingredients can be found outside of México.🤩
It is commonly paired in the north of México with ‘carne asada’. In other parts of the country, we prepare this salsa with ‘pulque’😋 instead of beer and some people like to add tomatillo, which is perfect to accompany lamb barbacoa.
And don’t worry, the beer only adds flavour as the alcohol evaporates. So, it’s suitable for everyone.😁

This 'borracha' salsa is made with the same basic ingredients as most salsas but has a special ingredient - alcohol. For this recipe, I have used beer, but you can also use Tequila.
