Preparation
- Step 1
Prepare the salted rim: In a small shallow bowl or plate, sprinkle a thin layer of the salt. Run the lime wedge along the rim of a chilled beer glass or mug, then dip the rim into the salt mixture, tapping off any excess. Add ice to the glass then pour in the lime juice, add a small pinch of salt and top with beer. Serve any remaining beer on the side.
- You can serve as is or add one or many condiments to your Michelada such as: Worcestershire sauce (or salsa inglesa), hot sauce, Maggi seasoning, or Clamato or tomato juice (or both) to create your preferred drink. If you like, switch out the salt rim for one rimmed with Tajín.

Okay, I'm going to try this again. I commented once, but got bumped I think because I mentioned a brand name. I make this a mocktail using a non-alcoholic beer and it tastes like the real thing. Some of us cannot or choose not to drink alcohol, but we still like to have a beverage that tastes and looks adult. Thanks!
I first had micheladas at Señor Fish in the Eagle Rock neighborhood of LA. I’ve been hooked ever since. Tomato juice, horseradish, a dash of Worcestershire, Pacifico beer, a squeeze of lime, and tajín on the rim. For unknown reasons my friend and I call them “oingo boingos” but however you make them, nothing beats them on a summer afternoon.
Hey! That's good, made exactly as directed, one cold Corona, Worcester sauce, the Tanjin salt, fresh lime, lots of ice. Added half a shot of tequila like someone else suggested. Perfect for this 85 degree day.
Fish sauce, soy sauce, sriracha Half lager, half tomato Lime juice, Tajin rim That’s how we roll in Northern Scotland
This specific recipe is lacking. IMO a Michelada NEEDS to be a bit more "red" in color than your pictures (which would mean the addition of a bit of hot sauce and/or Clamato), and a Tajin rim is also delicious. Once you add those items this drink is a 5-star drink, perfect and refreshing on hot days.
Sounds like a German Radler that got led astray. (Sometimes a radler is translated as a shanty - beer with the addition of lemonade.) As Central Ameria's brewing tradition dates back to German immigrants, it's only fitting.
