Mix lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco, and V8 vegetable juice in a shaker and shake briefly.
Rim the edges of a 22 oz pilsner glass or beer mugs with a lime wedge, then turn the glass upside down to dip first into the salt.
Pour a little ice into the rimmed glass. Next, pour the lime mixture over ice.
Finally, open the beer and slowly pour it into the glass so that it won’t foam up. Mix softly with a long spoon.
Decorate with a lime wedge and Salud!
Notes:
Tomato or Clamato? Guatemalan Micheladas commonly use tomato juice for additional flavor. You can also use Clamato or V8 and add extra seasonings, just like you would with a classic Bloody Mary mix. Some even add half a shot glass of Tequila to give it a little kick!
Rim your glass: Use the lime wedges to moisten the rims of your beer mugs before you pour the Michelada mix. It will help the condiments stick to the edges. Next, place the salt on a wide plate and dip the wet rim, gently rotating the glass. For an extra burst of flavor, you can use a combination of salt and Tajin seasoning or chili powder.
Get creative with your garnish: Much like Bloody Mary’s, you can get creative when garnishing your michelada. From shrimp and bacon to celery sticks, you can add fun garnishes to your michelada.
