Ingredients

• 12 oz Beer (preferably a light Mexican lager)
• 4 oz Tomato juice
• 1 oz Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 0.5 tsp Hot sauce
• 0.5 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 tsp Soy sauce
• 1 pinch Salt
• 1 pinch Chili powder
• 6 pieces Ice cubes
• 1 piece Lime wedge
• 2 tbsp Coarse salt (for rim)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by rimming the glass: Run a lime wedge around the edge of a large pint glass or beer mug, then dip the rim into a shallow dish filled with coarse salt. Tap gently to shake off any excess.

Step 2

Fill the glass halfway with ice cubes to keep your drink chilled.

Step 3

In a small mixing bowl, combine the tomato juice, lime juice, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of chili powder. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly mixed.

Step 4

Pour the mixture over the ice in the prepared glass.

Step 5

Slowly top with the beer of your choice to avoid too much foam. Stir gently to combine the flavors without losing carbonation.

Step 6

Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass for an extra pop of freshness.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy your authentic Michelada!
