Michelada

Beer's spicy upgrade

Glass Collins
Method Built
Garnish lime wedge & salt rim

Mexico's savory beer cooler and unofficial hangover cure: cold lager built over lime, hot sauce, and Worcestershire in a salt-rimmed glass. Mexican hot sauces like Cholula, Valentina, or Tapatío are traditional. Add a splash of tomato or Clamato juice for the popular 'preparada' style.

Ingredients

  • 6 oz Lager
  • 1 oz Fresh Lime Juice
  • 3 dashes Hot Sauce
  • 2 dashes Worcestershire

Method

Rim a collins glass with salt and fill with ice. Add lime juice, hot sauce, and Worcestershire. Top slowly with cold lager, refilling from the bottle as you drink. Garnish with a lime wedge.
