Some people like their michelada with tomato juice. Others prefer it with just lime juice and salt. And then there are those of us, like me, who enjoy them with a few drops of Worcestershire sauce, freshly squeezed lime juice, chamoy, and plenty of original TABASCO® hot sauce.
A michelada can be made with light or dark non‑alcoholic beer (halal‑certified). Both go well with the ingredients, and it’s a very refreshing drink.
A beer cocktail like this never fails when it’s hot, and we’re partying and enjoying a delicious taco feast at home. This cocktail is the perfect accompaniment to our Mexican food and tacos.
In Mexico, micheladas are always on the menu at many restaurants and bars. And now, with my recipe, you too can make your own beer cocktail at home. The trick to a perfect michelada is to use freshly squeezed lime juice and ice‑cold non‑alcoholic beer.
Using TABASCO® sauce for micheladas is a tradition for those who prepare classic cocktails at their bars. So when you make your own michelada at home, don’t forget this important ingredient. It not only adds another dimension of flavor but also a delicious spicy kick.
