The temps are getting warmer..and will soon be HOT. Time for a refreshing michelada. Here's your visual aid to making one...






...it's nice to have a willing volunteer as a taste-tester.

Is Tapatillo acceptable or only Cholula?:D

Pompano - 5-13-2015 at 12:40 PM

Even Tobasco...it's all good.

You bet...I like and use Clamato, too. And, I drank Tecate once...once. :rolleyes:

May I recommend seasoning your glass rim with Tajin?

Oh yeah, and a de-seeded cucumber spear makes a tasty stir-stick! :wow:

Again..you bet. Plus a pickled asparagus spear makes a good stir stick, too.

Wow, those are pretty fancy beers! :bounce::cool:

My experience has been that Tecate Michelada Diablo is quite good, as is Bud's Clamato spicy. Much easier and quicker than DOI.

Hah! love it.. I'm sipping on a michelada as we speak!

I use 2 corona's, a half lime, lots of tobasco, a dash of Worcestershire, and about a 1/3 cup of Clamato.

Pompano - 5-13-2015 at 07:45 PM

Salud! BooJumMan knows...Home made is always the best!

I've ordered and loved Micheladas and Chabelas and discovered that either one can be red or beer colored, depending on location and bartender. Is there a rule of thumb cause I REALLY prefer the red, very spicy ones that Pete's Camp in San Felipe serves. San Felipe seems to serve the red ones when I order a Michelada, but sometimes I'm corrected to order the Chabela when they realize I want the red one. I'm confused.

Here's a couple more variations

Your taste tester looks like he has already tested quite a few.:o LOL

Hah..glad his expression is appreciated, Lindalou. I must brag for him, so please forgive this little tribute to an old and dear friend. That's my lifelong buddy, Randy,on one of his visits to Baja. His humor was always at hand as shown here. Indeed, this man has never objected to a beer and also is an expert when it comes to testing 'anything'...including micheladas. Among many other accomplishments, he is/was a brilliant research chemist PhD and Director of Research for 3M. One of the more brainy of our species.

Borne and raised very near to each other, I was proud to call him my compadre since we were infants. Here we are...'back in the day'...Los Innocents



And the last trip to Baja. Good times, amigo.

all good but I add a shot of blanco tequila then pour the beer. And I always use spicy clamato. Limon Sal is good too. Get the little shakers at the tiendas.
