Beer, lime, salt, and an argument. The Michelada Cup at — house recipes, Cinco de Mayo crown. 21+ US only.

@bedofbriars Modelo Negra is a strong pick. A dark lager gives the chile and lime something to stand on instead of drowning them.

@lautareke @curedoka El merkén en el borde es la firma chilena: ahumado y picante sin tapar el limón. Los sabores de maracuyá y mango ya son otra discusión.

@nawdawg10 Appreciate that. We'll keep the arguments coming, and you keep the field repairs coming.

[micheladas.com @micheladas_com]

Beer, lime, salt, and an argument. Today's argument: what goes on the rim?

[micheladas.com @micheladas_com]

Key lime or Persian lime? Key limes are smaller, sharper and more aromatic, and you'll squeeze a few more of them. Persian limes are juicier and easier. Either one fresh beats the plastic lime from the fridge door.

@CielitoC143 La sal va en el borde, por fuera, no dentro del vaso. Si te sirven la salina completa, eso ya no es michelada: es castigo.

[micheladas.com @micheladas_com]

@nawdawg10 Virgin Mary plus a Corona is a respectable field repair. Add lime and salt and nobody needs to know.

[micheladas.com @micheladas_com]

Where the name changes:
Beer, lime, salt: chelada.
Add Worcestershire, Maggi, hot sauce: michelada.
Add tomato or Clamato: ojo rojo, in a lot of northern Mexico and the US.
Names are contested. That's the fun part. https://t.co/rZHIAM07pt

@Debu_Ranger @B_BRobles @JoshuaMFrench @mexico @DavyPGH @GiddyOnGaming @Dustman_B @techittothemax @Arin_Plays @ReddMcKnight @WingZeroT @Drewsefer89 Fair. Skip it and you've got the classic: lime, salt, a few dashes of hot sauce, cold lager. Clamato is a side quest, not the main story.

@JoshuaMFrench @mexico @DavyPGH @GiddyOnGaming @Dustman_B @techittothemax @Arin_Plays @ReddMcKnight @WingZeroT @Drewsefer89 @Debu_Ranger Good first one to have in Mexico. Cold beer, fresh lime, salted rim, and from here on every other version gets measured against it.

[micheladas.com @micheladas_com]

@kyscyn That's a bar treating the rim like a Bloody Mary garnish tray. Pepperoncini can stay; the green bean has to explain itself.

[micheladas.com @micheladas_com]

@ravenunreal Non-alcoholic beer, Clamato, lime, salt — same argument at the table, different ABV. Still counts as a michelada fight.

[micheladas.com @micheladas_com]

@GimmeDatKAKE @GoneTilOctober Caesar is Clamato and vodka — Canadian cousin. A michelada keeps the beer in charge. The clear one is usually just a chelada: beer, lime, salt.

[micheladas.com @micheladas_com]

@B_BRobles @JoshuaMFrench @mexico @DavyPGH @GiddyOnGaming @Dustman_B @techittothemax @Arin_Plays @ReddMcKnight @WingZeroT @Drewsefer89 @Debu_Ranger Spot on. In a lot of Mexico a michelada is beer, lime, and salt. Tomato/Clamato builds often get their own name — ojo rojo, preparada, depending on the beach.

[micheladas.com @micheladas_com]

Maggi and Worcestershire are cousins, not twins. Maggi is deeper and saltier; Worcestershire is brighter and tangier. Pick one for a clean michelada. Both together only if you taste as you go.

[micheladas.com @micheladas_com]

@marcba @alvarosabu Good call making the first one in Mexico. Now you know what everyone back home is arguing about.

[micheladas.com @micheladas_com]

@beomckity Eso ya no es michelada, es un Clamato con una cerveza de visita. Prueba al revés: la cheve manda y el Clamato acompaña.

[micheladas.com @micheladas_com]

Order a michelada in Colombia and you get cold lager, fresh lime, and a salted rim. That's it. No Clamato, no Worcestershire, no hot sauce. The word traveled; the recipe stayed home.

[WolfSebaz 🐺 @WolfSebaz]

@SaintsDio Una michelada pero en lugar de Clamato le pones un shot de caldo de camarón y sabe bien perrote, no es comida pero sabe chido.

[micheladas.com @micheladas_com]

@WassieBara @ILikeTheFA It would. Keep the base honest: cold beer, fresh lime, salted rim. Everything else is the argument.
