Michelada Mix

1 cup Tomato juice (or Clamato)

1/2 cup Fresh lime juice

1 tbs Original Worcestershire Sauce

1 tsp Soy sauce or Maggi seasoning

1 tsp Hot sauce (e.g., Valentina or Tabasco)

1/4 tsp Freshly ground black pepper

1/4 tsp Celtic sea salt

1/2 tsp Optional: Tajín or chili powder

Rimming and Garnish

1 tbs Coarse salt or Tajín (for rim)

2 pieces Lime wedges (for rimming and garnish)

1 piece Cucumber or celery stick (optional garnish)

2 cups Ice cubes

Beer

24 fl oz Mexican lager (well‑chilled)

Method

Prepare Glass and Mix

Rim the glass

Run one lime wedge around the rim of a large pint glass or beer mug to moisten it. Spread the coarse salt or Tajín on a small plate and press the rim into the salt to coat evenly. Set glass aside.

Make the Michelada mix

In a measuring cup or pitcher, combine the tomato juice (or Clamato), fresh lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce (or Maggi), hot sauce, black pepper, salt, and optional Tajín. Whisk or stir vigorously until fully blended and seasoning is distributed. Taste and adjust: add more hot sauce for heat, more lime for brightness, or a pinch more salt if muted.

Assemble the Michelada

Add ice to the rimmed glass (about 1 to 1 1/2 cups depending on glass size). Pour approximately 6 ounces (3/4 cup) of the prepared Michelada mix into the glass over the ice.

Tilt the glass and slowly pour 12 ounces (1 bottle/can) of well‑chilled Mexican lager down the side so it mixes gently with the tomato mixture without foaming over. If you prefer a lighter drink, use 8 ounces beer and 4 ounces mix; for a stronger tomato flavor, increase mix slightly.

Give the drink one gentle stir with a bar spoon or lime wedge to combine — avoid vigorous stirring to keep carbonation.

Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim and an optional cucumber or celery stick placed in the drink. Serve immediately while cold.
