MICHELADA

Michelada image

And just what is in a michelada? In Mexico City, it consists of fresh lime juice, a trinity of Tabasco, Worcestershire and soy sauces, a pinch of black pepper and maybe (or maybe not) a dash of Maggi, the seasoning usually used for soups and stews. This mix makes up two or three fingers' worth of a tall glass. That glass needs ice in it. It needs beer. And it needs drinking. At least, I certainly think it does. It might sound like a hangover recipe, but to me it tastes like malted manna.
