Michelada is a variation  on the  Bloody Mary with beer  replacing  the traditional vodka, making it a  perfect Mexican oriented brunch cocktail.

Michelada is my recipe of the day with the blogging group Foodie Extravaganza. We group monthly  posting on the same chosen  topic. This month we have recipes with beer.

I have been wanting to post a recipe for  a Michelada  for some time. It’s very similar to a Bloody Mary but uses lager beer instead of Vodka for the alcoholic  component.

My husband and I had some fun  making  these together to see  how we preferred them. He likes lime juices with Cholula  hot  sauce and different ratios of clamato  to beer.

I settled on using  lemon  juice  and an Extra-hot  Louisiana hot pepper sauce. These little things can cause great changes in the flavor overall. Especially the hot sauce, which really brings out the intricate flavor.

I would  be  careful with the jugo, which  is  a type of  Maggi  bottled seasoning which has flavors  similar to both soy sauce  and Worcestershire sauce. For that burst of umami flavor. Which is  why you see those pop up  in various Michelada recipes. It is very strong, so use a judicious hand.

The  Tajin seasoning is perfect for salting  the rim of  the glass. However, it is  optional. And  you could opt to use salt instead.
