Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Beer (preferably a light Mexican lager)
- 4 oz Tomato juice
- 1 oz Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.5 tsp Hot sauce
- 0.5 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 tsp Soy sauce
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Chili powder
- 6 pieces Ice cubes
- 1 piece Lime wedge
- 2 tbsp Coarse salt (for rim)
Instructions
Begin by rimming the glass: Run a lime wedge around the edge of a large pint glass or beer mug, then dip the rim into a shallow dish filled with coarse salt. Tap gently to shake off any excess.
Fill the glass halfway with ice cubes to keep your drink chilled.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the tomato juice, lime juice, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of chili powder. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
Pour the mixture over the ice in the prepared glass.
Slowly top with the beer of your choice to avoid too much foam. Stir gently to combine the flavors without losing carbonation.
Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass for an extra pop of freshness.
Serve immediately and enjoy your authentic Michelada!
