Bonus: they’re super customizable depending on your spice preference!
Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cups Clamato
- 1 1/2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Jugo Maggi
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
- A few dashes of hot sauce optional
- A few cracks of black pepper
- A pinch of salt
- 4 cans of cold Modelo beer or Mexican beer of your choice
- Ice
- Straws
For the rim
- Chamoy or lime juice
- Tajín
Instructions
- In a large glass or mason jar, mix the Clamato, Worcestershire sauce, Jugo Maggi, soy sauce, lime juice, hot sauce, black pepper, and salt.
- Using a topless can opener, open the tops of the beer cans and pour about 1/4 to 1/3 of each beer into a separate large glass. This leaves enough room in each can for the michelada mix and ice. Save the poured beer to top off or make additional micheladas.
- Wash the outsides of the cans thoroughly with water and soap. Working one can at a time, carefully tilt the can and brush the side (not the top edge) with chamoy or lime juice.
- Sprinkle Tajín over the brushed area.
- Stand the can upright and add a few ice cubes.
- Pour the michelada mix into the can until full.
- Repeat with the remaining cans.
- Top each can with a lime wedge and a straw. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Using a topless can opener is key for this presentation—make sure the top edge is clean and smooth.
- Adjust the amount of hot sauce based on your spice preference.
- If you prefer, you can skip the chamoy and just use lime juice for the Tajín rim.
- Modelo Especial works great, but feel free to swap in any Mexican lager you like.
- Always serve micheladas cold and freshly assembled for the best flavor and fizz.
