Michelada?

[JayFramer]

Anyone ever make a michelada?

It's basically a bloody mary mixed with a beer. Mexican creation very popular south of the border. Sounded gross when I first heard about them but let me tell you, they are delicious and really refreshing. I've had a few around town (Vegas) that were very good.

Lots of recipes for them online. You might really like them too, especially if you like bloody marys.

Cheers!

The way I heard it, beer and tomato juice was the original Bloody Mary. There are places in the northwest where if you order a pitcher of beer, they ask you “white or red?” So I have been mixing them up long before I heard of micheladas.

But I really like the way they do it in Mexico, with Clamato, soy or Worcestershire, salt, lime and chili powder. At the Puente Colgate in Batopilas, they mix them up by the pitcher. We could get through quite a few pitchers of an evenin, after a long, hot motorcycle ride through the canyons.

Around here, there are a few Mexican restaurants that will make one, sometimes in a 24 or 32 ounce mug. That is damn refreshing.

Wow, over 50 years of legal age drinking and I haven't heard of or tried one of these? It's been duly added to my bucket list. Thanks.

Maybe if I knew what street the sweepings on the goblet came from...

Ruined a good beer as far as I'm concerned.

Ruined a good beer as far as I'm concerned.

That’s the point. In one of my summer gigs, I tend to accumulate a lot of canned beer, but it is always **** like Coors and Bud Lite. Perfect for micheladas, because I don’t have to taste what I am drinking; it is always masked by the Clamato and spices.

NOPE, NOT EXACTLY.

Beer & spicy clamato for sure. NO Michelob? Don't try drinking that mess while wearing white. WAY too crowded, too much going on, too touristy looking for me, but if you are pouring, set me up. I'll move it to the top of the to do list. I'm not suppose to have ANYTHING carbonated, the tomato juice seems to greatly reduce the carbonation. 6 years w/o beer was cruel & unusual punishment.

I dunno fellas... I like alcohol in all its many guises, but.... beer and tomato juice....?

 

[robvious]

back in the 1970's my dad had beer & snappy tom tomato juice... plaid long shorts, black socks, sandals and a white tee shirt on the front porch after mowing the lawn... very tasty as I recall... hard to think of the old man as "HIP" or ahead of his time... looks like just a red beer... for $12...lol

Red Beers...........
and salt and maybe "Clamato juice", if inclined.

If you missed lunch you can add celery and olives.......

carry on.

i was havin one or 2 every single day after work during the summer. i tried a number of different things, but finally settled on a frosty mug with about an inch of ZING-ZANG bloody mary mix, a couple dashes of CAJUN CHEF hot sauce and a DOS XX lager.

the ZING-ZANG is already spiced up with everything you usually add to bloody mary mix.

so delicious and refreshing you''ll drain half of it at the first "sip"

I was drinking a lot of these when we were still going to Mexico about a dozen years ago.
