Joe's Famous Michelada

By: PoodleMom 
"This is my husband's recipe for a michelada, a Mexican beer cocktail. He sampled many of them from almost all the Mexican restaurants here in town...and came up with his own way of making them. Now he doesn't even bother ordering them out anymore."

Original Recipe Yield 1 16-ounce beer cocktail
 

Ingredients

  • coarse salt for rim of mug, or as needed
  • ice cubes
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1 dash hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®), or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups tomato and clam juice cocktail (such as Clamato®), or as needed
  • 1/2 cup cold beer

Directions

  1. Dip the rim of a chilled 1-pint mug or schooner into coarse salt, and fill the mug with ice cubes. Add 1/4 teaspoon of salt, lemon juice, hot pepper sauce, and soy sauce. Pour in the tomato and clam juice cocktail, top up the mug with beer, and stir gently. As you drink, you can keep topping up your mug with more beer.

Footnotes

  • We usually prepare this with Miller Lite. A nice cold michelada is great on summer days out by the BBQ grill!
