How To Make michelada - mexican beer cocktail

  • Step 1
    Place large glasses or mugs in the freezer and chill for 20 minutes.
  • Step 2
    Run a lime wedge around the rims and set aside.
  • Step 3
    In a small, shallow bowl, add Tajin and 1/8 tsp. salt; mix well. Dip prepared glasses into the mixture so the rims are well coated.

    Add 2 to 3 ice cubes per glass and set aside.
  • Step 5
    In a cocktail mixing glass or Boston shaker, add clamato juice, lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce; shake it well. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed; add freshly ground black pepper.
  • Step 6
    Evenly divide the Clamato mixture between the two prepared glasses and add a tiny pinch of salt per drink.
  • Step 7
    Top each glass with cold beer and garnish to your liking.
  • Step 8
