Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

Say hello to elote, the Mexican street food that's about to be your favorite way to make corn on the cob! Whole ears are grilled and rubbed with mayo, cheese, and chili powder.

4 ears corn, husks and silk removed
1/4 cup melted butter
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup grated cotija cheese (or Parmesan cheese)
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
4 wedges lime (optional)
Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
Place the corn on the grill and grill until heated through and lightly charred all over, about 10-12 minutes.
Remove the corn from the grill and roll them in the melted butter. Spread the corn evenly with the mayonnaise. Sprinkle with cotija cheese, chili powder, and cumin and serve with a lime wedge.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
