Don't take out the negative. Just move it to the verb and pick the
right adverbial to account for the change.
{rut HIq vItlhutlhbe', 'ach vItlhutlhDI' qaq "Dos Equis".}
Don't get distracted by how I chose to do the last few words. I used
{qaq XX} instead of {XX vImaS} to put the name of the product last.
It's a style thing.
