Mexican Beer Cocktail
Micheladas have been around for decades in Mexico and have been especially popular in the
Northern areas of Mexico. The Michelada stemmed from the usual practice of adding a squeeze
of lime and a dash of salt to a beer. Now there are as many recipes as there are bartenders.
Here is a simple recipe for this beer cocktail including the more popular ingredients and
suggestions for other variations.
Ingredients:
•1 ice cold Mexican beer (dark is better)
•coarse salt (for the rim)
•1/4 cup fresh lime juice
•1-2 dashes of hot chile sauce (such as Tabasco, Tapatio or Cholula)
•1 dashes of soy sauce
•1 dashes worchestshire sauce
•beer mug or large glass (chilled if possible)
•Ice
•lime wedge for garnish
Preparation:
Salt the rim of the glass by wetting the edge with some of the lime juice then dipping it into a plate
with salt on it. Now fill the glass about half way with ice and pour in the lime juice, chile sauce, soy
sauce and worchestshire sauce. Mix with a spoon then slowly pour in the beer to the top of the
glass. Push the lime wedge onto the edge and serve immediatley. When you have a few drinks,
pour the remaining beer into the cocktail.
