Cocktail Colin says:
A Michelada is like the life of the party in a glass: robust, unpredictable, and teetering on the edge of refreshing and audacious. The play of lively lime juxtaposed against the hearty Worcestershire and fiery Tabasco, all mellowed by the lager, crafts a cocktail that's multidimensional and dramatically shifts with each sip; a drink not just served, but experienced.

FAQ's
What is the origin of the Michelada?
The Michelada is believed to have originated in Mexico, though the exact location and date of its creation are subjects of debate. It is a traditional Mexican cocktail, combining the flavors of lime, sauces, and beer, and it's enjoyed widely across the country.
Can the alcohol content in a Michelada be higher than 0%?
Yes, the indicated alcohol content of 0% is likely an oversight. The alcohol content in a Michelada comes from the lager beer used in the recipe. The actual alcohol content will vary depending on the strength of the beer chosen, usually ranging between 3% to 5% ABV (Alcohol by Volume).
Is it possible to customize a Michelada?
Absolutely! The Michelada is known for its versatility. Ingredients like hot sauce, lime juice, and Worcestershire sauce can be adjusted according to taste. Additionally, some versions include tomato juice, soy sauce, or even clamato (a blend of clam and tomato juice), allowing for a wide range of flavor profiles.
What is the best occasion to enjoy a Michelada?
Micheladas are particularly popular as a refreshment on hot days or as a hangover cure, thanks to their zesty and savory ingredients. They're also commonly enjoyed at brunch or as an accompaniment to meals, especially those featuring Mexican cuisine.
How should the Michelada be served for the best taste?
For the best tasting Michelada, use a cold highball glass rimmed with salt (optionally mixed with chili powder for extra kick), pour in the mix of lime juice, Tabasco, and Worcestershire sauce, then top it up with a cold lager beer. Serve immediately, garnished with a lime wedge. Keeping the ingredients, especially the beer, cold is key to a refreshing Michelada.
