Ingredients
- 1 lime, halved
- Coarse salt (such as kosher or sea salt)
- Chili powder (optional, for rim)
- Ice cubes
- 1/2 cup tomato juice or Clamato juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (from about 1/2 lime)
- 2 dashes hot sauce (such as Tabasco or Valentina)
- 2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 1 (12-ounce) bottle Mexican lager beer (such as Corona or Modelo), chilled
Instructions
- Run the cut side of one lime half around the rim of a chilled pint glass. Dip the rim into a plate of coarse salt (mixed with chili powder if desired) to coat.
- Fill the glass with ice cubes.
- Add tomato juice, fresh lime juice, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper. Stir gently to combine.
- Slowly pour the beer into the glass, tilting to minimize foam. Stir once more gently.
- Garnish with the remaining lime half on the rim or squeeze into the drink. Serve immediately.
Tips
- For a spicier michelada, add a splash of pickle juice or a slice of jalapeño.
- Use a chilled glass to keep the drink cold longer.
- If you prefer a saltier rim, dip the glass in lime juice then salt before adding ice.
