CLASSIC · MEXICAN LAGER

Michelada

Name: Michelada
Cuisine: Cocktail
Ingredients: 120 ml Mexican Lager; 120 ml Tomato Juice; 30 ml Lime Juice; 2 dashes Hot Sauce; 2 dashes Worcestershire Sauce; 2 dashes Soy Sauce; Coarse Salt; Lime Wedge

The soy sauce is an unorthodox but effective addition - it deepens the umami backbone without adding obvious saltiness, acting almost like a seasoning rather than a flavor.

From the Bartender

The soy sauce is an unorthodox but effective addition - it deepens the umami backbone without adding obvious saltiness, acting almost like a seasoning rather than a flavor. For best results, use a light Mexican lager like Modelo or Pacifico; heavier beers will overpower the savory mix.
