Looking for a new way to drink beer? Want to skip the tequila this Cinco de Mayo? Try a Michelada. It’s a Mexican beer cocktail!
Some beer companies have started selling pre-mixed in cans. The canned varieties have been in my experience, well, gross. And it’s so easy and cheap to make, there’s no reason to risk a bad michelada.
There are many variations on the recipe out there. This one is just the one I happen to like. Other versions include tomato juice and soy sauce. (If you’re into clam juice, some variations are made with Clamato)
Michelada
1 small lime
1 bottle of beer (I recommend Negra Modelo)
Kosher salt
Worstershire sauce
Hot sauce (Tapatio or Tabasco work)
Rim a chilled beer mug or pint glass with salt. Squeeze in the lime juice and add a pinch of salt. Add two dashes each of Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce. Pour in cold beer. (Be careful when pouring as the salt may cause it to foam more.)
