The Perfect Mexican Michelada

Recipe Description

I’m delighted to share The Perfect Mexican Michelada recipe with you today. This refreshing cocktail will be an amazing addition to your Cinco de Mayo feast this year. I use Clamato juice in this recipe which, as the name suggests, is a combination of tomato and clam juice. If you can’t get any Clamato, tomato juice makes a good substitute. 

To make this cocktail, start by combining salt and Tajin seasoning on a shallow plate. Moisten the rims of two-pint glasses using a lime wedge. Dip the glasses into the salt mixture to coat the rim. Fill both glasses ⅔ full with ice. Divide Clamato juice, lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and hot sauce between each glass. Top up the glasses with Mexican beer. Garnish with lime wedges and enjoy! 

To make The Perfect Mexican Michelada, you will need the following ingredients:

I’m so grateful for this fantastic Michelada recipe! I made it for our Cinco de Mayo gathering, and everyone loved it. The combination of flavors was perfect, and it was so simple to prepare. I used tomato juice instead of Clamato, and it turned out amazing. I've definitely found my go-to cocktail for summer parties.
