Hot Sauce Michelada
With Cinco de Mayo right around the corner, I figured I'd share my favorite michelada recipe! I love this recipe because, if you're like me, you most likely have all of these ingredients on hand already!
All you need is a nice cold Mexican beer, some hot sauce, worcestershire sauce, and lime juice. I prefer to use a combination of Modelo beer and Valentina hot sauce because I think they go best together. But be sure to play around and test out what you like best!
Which reminds me - how fun would a DIY Michelada party be?! Saving that blog post for another day!
But back to the subject -- If you'd like, you can roll the rim of the glass in tajin which is a chili lime seasoning blend. I've also tried Trader Joe's version which is pretty good, too!!
How to make a Michelada
Making a michelada with hot sauce is super easy!
- To begin, slice a lime in half and rub half of the lime on the lip of the cup. Now, add a little tajin to a small plate and roll the rim of the glass in it until it sticks.
- Fill the cup with ice then add the juice from the lime along with the hot sauce and worcestershire.
- Slowly pour in the Mexican beer until the cup is full. Serve the remaining beer along with the cocktail.
Ingredients in a Michelada
You'll sometimes see michelada's made with tomato juice and/or clamato, but since I have a pretty bad shellfish allergy, I'm sticking to this quick and easy hot sauce version. All you need for this michelada is:
- Mexican beer - such as Modelo
- Mexican Hot Sauce - such as Valentina
- Worchestershire
- Lime Juice
- **OPTIONAL - TAJIN
