I can’t believe I haven’t stumbled across Micheladas, a summertime beverage, sooner. Even my husband knew about them before me, thanks to a few San Francisco 49er tailgates.
I think the Michelada might be the perfect summertime drink, and here’s why: they are light and refreshing. Take beer, cut it with clamato, and add a generous amount of of lime juice. A squirt of Worcestershire, Tabasco, and Maggi seasoning make for a delicious, tangy drink with an umami flavor.
Special Ingredients
- Beer
- Clamato tomato juice
- Lime juice
- Worcestershire
- Tabasco
- Maggi
But wait! You aren’t done yet. Last step…rim the glasses with a bit of Tajín, which is a blend of lime crystals, chili, and salt, and serve over ice.
Serve poolside with friends and family. Let summertime begin!

Notes
I used about six limes to ensure there was enough juice and enough leftover for wedges. I needed to use a hand pulper to get all the juice out. These were not old limes, so be sure you have plenty on hand in case your batch is not that juicy.
