While it is tempting to drink straight from the bottle, pouring Negra Modelo into glassware significantly enhances the experience. A proper pour releases the carbonation and reveals the deep, inviting color of the liquid.
Start by tilting your glass at a 45-degree angle, pouring slowly until it is half full. Then, straighten the glass and pour the remainder directly into the center to create a perfect, creamy head of foam.
This ritual is not just for show; the foam acts as a lid, trapping the delicate aromatic compounds inside the glass. Take a moment to smell the roasted notes before taking your first refreshing sip.
