Michelada

It might seem blasphemous to even tinker with the beautiful bitter taste and smooth texture of a beer, but if you like things a bit Mexican, this one would surely refresh a notch higher than the usual pint.

Presenting a lesser known beer cocktail - Michelada

Ingredients

1 pint beer
200 ml tomato juice
4-5 drops Tabasco sauce
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp lime juice
1/2 tsp black pepper
Salt and paprika to rim the glass

Method

1. Salt the glass rim - Take a spoon of lime juice in a wide bowl. Rotate the inverted glass in the bowl to coat the rims. Now take the glass and rotate it on a plate sprinkled generously with salt and paprika.

2. In a cocktail shaker, add the mixtures - tomato juice, tobasco, worcestershire sauce, lime juice and black pepper. Shake well along with 4-5 ice cubes.

3. Pour the mixture in the rimmed glass.

4. Top it with the beer.

The lemon really kills the bitterness of beer and creates a tangy flavor only enhanced by tobasco. We loved the drink for its unique flavor, not found commonly in Indian pubs.

Cheers!
