Michelada

According to Wikipedia, a michelada is a Mexican cerveza preparada made with beer, lime juice, and assorted sauces, spices, and peppers.

It’s traditionally served in a chilled, salt-rimmed glass. Some people in Mexico believe micheladas are a good remedy for hangovers.

All of that sounds good to me!

I used to love bloody marys, until an incident at the movies back-in-the-day has prevented me from drinking them… until now… or at least this version of a bloody mary, michelada, Mexican red beer thing.

It reminds me of a bloody mary and it’s made of similar ingredients.

The taste, though, is different than a bloody mary and probably the reason that I am able to drink this and still cannot stomach a regular bloody mary.

I originally heard of a michelada from my husband. He had gone on a trip and while waiting in the airport for the flight he was in the bar, of course, and saw someone order a michelada.

He was intrigued and decided to order one for himself.

He loved the drink but not the price, $8 for just one. When he came home from the trip he told me about it and we tried to replicate the recipe here at home.

I have to say, I think we did a pretty great job of replication and if not then this drink still tastes amazing and I’ll drink it any day.
