Haus Michelada Recipe

Prepare glass

Run a lime wedge around the rim of a 16–20 oz pint glass. Spread the coarse sea salt or Tajín on a small plate and dip the rim into it so the salt adheres evenly. Set the glass aside.

Reserve a lime wedge and a lime wheel for garnish.

Build the michelada base

In a separate mixing glass or shaker, combine fresh lime juice, Zing Zang, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, soy sauce (if using), and freshly ground black pepper. Stir or gently roll to combine — do not vigorously shake if ice is present, to avoid diluting too much.

Adjust to taste

Taste the mix and adjust seasoning as desired: add more lime for brightness, more Zing Zang for tomato/clam flavor, or more hot sauce for heat.

Combine with beer

If using ice, add 3–4 ice cubes to the prepared glass. Pour the prepared mix into the glass, leaving room for beer (about one-third of the glass). Slowly pour the cold Modelo Especial down the side of the glass to minimize foaming, topping off gently until the glass is full.

Give the drink a gentle stir once or twice with a bar spoon to integrate, taking care not to over-stir and flatten the beer.

Garnish with the reserved lime wedge and optional lime wheel on the rim. Serve immediately with a straw if desired.
