Let's Make a Michelada - YouTube

Hi everybody and welcome back to my kitchen. Let's talk beer. Let's talk micheladas. Let's talk this big category that is called cerveza preparada or a prepared beer and usually people and none of this is set in stone and a lot of people will argue with all different parts of this but I'm gonna say that most people that I talk to divide the world of cheladas from micheladas and the cheladas are the ones that simply have lime juice ice and salted rim and a beer poured on that that's very simple and incredibly refreshing especially when it's really really hot now if you want to take the next step the you can add some more things to it and I have three of the things that you could add right here we have hot sauce of course a Mexican hot sauce we have jugomagi now that is one of those deep rich flavors that will remind you a little bit of soy sauce which is something that some people put in here worcestershire sauce is another one and what's not here is clamato so clamato is that clam flavored tomato juice that was developed in northern Mexico and a lot of people like putting some of that in here too I like it all and sometimes in I'm in mood for different things so let's just build one of them here it needs a salted rim so you can do a regular salted rim just like you would do for a margarita or you could do tajin rim so pretty much everybody knows tajin it's a salt chili and dehydrated lime mix and that's what I'm going to do here I'm just going to put this I rub the lime all around the top of it of course and now I've got that on there next thing is to fill this glass with ice and that's sort of a an odd thing for somebody who perhaps has never had this before that they would think you're going to pour beer over ice but it is a really big part of all of this so I'm going to put in a little bit of of this tomasula hot sauce and again everything is to your own discretion here I'm going to skip the hugomagi for the moment and put in worcestershire sauce to deepen the flavor now the critical thing of course here is the lime because it is going to make this whole thing kind of come together flavor-wise and you're going to want a couple of tablespoons but you'll have to may if you've never made micheladas before you're going to want to do this a little bit at a time so I've got exactly two tablespoons there and that's what I'm going to start with now I will need to stir all of this together get those flavors melding there I do like the one with the clamato in here too because that's almost a different drink to me then open the beer and pour it in I'm going to give it another stir here just to make sure all the flavors are blended beautifully top it off with a little bit more beer there and salute
