Beer Cocktail- Michelada

Monday January 5, 2009
In Mexico it has always been popular to enjoy a beer with a squeeze of lime and a dash of salt. For an even more unique twist on a beer cocktail, try this recipe for a Michelada which is recently gaining popularity outside of Mexico. There are many recipes, but the best ones stick close to the original ingredients which always include salt and lime juice, Maggi sauce, and Worchestshire sauce.

So great to see a post on the Michelada. I adore drinking this in Mexico, and it is something I should start to serve here in the states.

Try mixing half lemonade and half beer over ice. It has to be sweet lemonade. Paul Newman’s is great Try it just once and you’ll love. It’s thirst quenching with half the alcohol. It’s called a “Bull”.

A million years ago when I was in college, we liked beer mixed 1/2 with lemonade or 7-up. It was called a “Shandy.” Yum. For a treat, add fresh basil leaves to the lemonade mix.
