Classic Michelada
Drink5 min1 servingsEasyAbout this recipe
A bold, tangy, and refreshing Mexican beer cocktail that's the ultimate thirst-quencher. Built on a cold lager with a zesty lime base, savory Worcestershire, hot sauce, and a chili-salt rim, this Michelada is the real deal — the kind you'd find at a taqueria in Mexico City or a backyard carne asada. It's endlessly customizable, comes together in minutes, and is the perfect companion for spicy food, hot afternoons, or lazy weekend brunches.
Instructions
- 1
On a small flat plate, mix together the Coarse Salt, Chili Powder, and Tajin Seasoning (if using). Spread it into an even layer.
- 2
Run a cut Lime wedge around the entire outer rim of a large Glass (Large) or Measuring Cups to moisten it. Press and roll the rim into the chili-salt mixture until fully coated. Set aside.
- 3
Fill the rimmed Glass (Large) with ice. Add the fresh Lime Juice, Worcestershire Sauce, Hot Sauce, Soy Sauce (if using), Maggi Seasoning Sauce (if using), and a pinch of freshly ground Black Pepper directly over the ice.
- 4
Stir the base briefly with a Wooden Spoon to combine all the seasonings.
- 5
Slowly pour the ice-cold Mexican Lager over the seasoned base, tilting the Glass (Large) slightly to preserve the carbonation. Pour gently — the beer will foam up. Stop pouring if it rises near the top, wait a moment for the foam to settle, then continue.
- 6
Give the drink one very gentle stir from the bottom to integrate the base without killing the bubbles. Taste and adjust — add more Hot Sauce for heat, more Lime for tartness, or a splash more Worcestershire Sauce for depth.
- 7
Garnish with a fresh Lime wedge on the rim. Serve immediately and drink cold.
