Micheladas
If you know what a Tequila is and how most people typically drink it (lick the salt, swig the drink, suck on the lemon), then you know that Mexicans can get pretty creative with their alcoholic beverages. Tequila, of course, is not the only liquor to come out of Mexican ingenuity. Probably not as well-known in the array of Mexican drinks would be the Michelada.
Michelada is a lager-based drink that is popular in Mexico. It is so popular, many regions have their own version of it. At the basic, the drink is a mix of Mexican beer, lime juice, hot sauce (this is Mexico!), soy sauce (yes, that was not a typo error), Worcestershire sauce (still not a typo… and yes, try saying that fast), and Clamato juice (clam + tomato — it’s tomato juice flavored with sugar, spices, msg, and clam broth), all served in a salt-rimmed glass. Depending on how creative your bartender gets, he could add shrimps, banana chips, jicama (a Mexican turnip), and just about anything he wants to thrill you with. All this would be served on ice.
