Classic Michelada Recipe

Classic Michelada Recipe

  • Coarse salt
  • 2 lime wedges
  • 2 ounces tomato juice (canned, bottled, or fresh)
  • 1 ounce fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 ounce hot sauce
  • 1/4 ounce Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon Tajín Clásico
  • 1 bottle (12 ounces) pale lager, such as Corona Extra, chilled
  1. Place about 1/4 cup salt on a small plate. Rub the rim of a Collins or pint glass (or a 16-ounce Solo cup—no need to get fancy) with one of the lime wedges to moisten it, then dip the rim in the salt to coat.
  2. Combine the tomato juice, lime juice, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, Tajín, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl and mix.
  3. Fill the prepared glass about three-quarters full with ice cubes and add the tomato juice mixture. Top with beer and garnish with the remaining lime wedge.
