Michelada: A Mexican Classic with a Kick
Let’s start with the Michelada, which is one of the most popular Mexican beer cocktails. This vibrant drink is known for its refreshing blend of beer, lime juice, and savory spices. Here’s how to make this well-loved drink:

2 ounces fresh lime juice
2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
2 dashes hot sauce (such as Tabasco or Cholula)
Tajin seasoning, for rimming the glass
Ice
Lime wedges, for garnish
Rim a glass with Tajin seasoning by moistening the rim with a lime wedge and dipping it into the seasoning.
Fill the glass with ice.
Add fresh lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce.
Pour in the Mexican lager beer slowly to avoid excessive foaming.
Stir gently to combine.
Garnish with a lime wedge.
