MICHELADA
1 serving

For a Chelada, frost the glass with coarse salt and add only a couple pinches of salt, 2 ounces lime juice, and ice cubes before pouring in the beer.

Run around the rim of a chilled pint glass:

  • 1 lime wedge

Frost the rim with:

  • Prepared chili-lime salt, such as Tajín

Fill the glass with ice and add:

  • 2 ounces tomato juice
  • 2 ounces lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon Mexican hot sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire or soy sauce

Have ready:

  • One 12-ounce can or bottle Mexican lager

Fill the glass with lager, stir once, and serve the michelada alongside the can or bottle of remaining beer. As the michelada is consumed it should be topped up with the rest of the beer.
