Description:
The Michelada is a classic Mexican beer cocktail with fresh lime, hot sauce, and savory seasonings. There is no single universal recipe: some regional versions include tomato juice or Clamato, while Mexico City commonly favors a clearer style without a tomato base. The name is generally linked to the Spanish phrase mi chela helada, meaning “my cold beer.” In the version selected for the catalog, pale lager remains central while sauces and spices add acidity, salinity, and moderate heat.
