La Michelada: The perfect hot summer drink

Posted on 19. Apr, 2009 by Front of House in Uncategorized

Resort Pool.  Cabana boy dedicated just to you.  80 degree weather and everyone at home is buried in fresh snow.  It’s good to be me.

Party for One

Ingredients:

Juice from 1/2 to one whole lime or a couple of key limes if available.  Depends on how tangy you like it.
3 dashes hot sauce
2 dashes Maggi or soy sauce
2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
10-12 oz of an amber Mexican beer like Negro Modelo.  You can also use a light beer.  I like the robust.
3-4 oz of Clamato.  I also use a good straight-up tomato juice sometimes, but I cut back the quantity.

Kosher salt or celery salt for glass rim

Preparation:

1. Salt the tumbler rim
2. Fill tumbler half with ice
3. Add all ingredients, except beer, to the tumbler then pour in beer and serve.  If the beer hits the salt, it will foam up.  Leave the pour to the Cabana kid.

Any low-sodium people in the group may not be into this fresher.  The salt is a perfect balance to the lip puckering lime.  Not the same drink without the sodium spike.
