Michelada

A Michelada (me-kay-LA-da) is a drink found commonly across Mexico. Although the ingredients vary from region to region, the basic recipe is to combine spices with cold beer in a salt-rimmed glass. The tangy flavors go great with Super Bowl foods like guacamole, chili, and wings.

To make a Michelada you'll need a 12 ounce bottle of Mexican beer, limes (about 1.5 per serving), soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce, and kosher salt.

1. First, wet the rim of a large glass with a lime wedge, then roll the rim on a plate of kosher salt to cover.

2. Roll 1-2 limes under the palm of your hand (you'll release more juices this way) and squeeze the juice into the glass.

3. Now add the rest of the spices. The combination is personal, but a good recipe to follow is 1 splash of soy sauce, 1 splash of Tabasco sauce, and 2 splashes of Worcestershire sauce. Stir.

4. Add ice and up to 12 ounces of cold beer and enjoy.

Another variation on this drink is a Chelada; this drink just has the salt-rimmed glass and lime juice and beer, so skip step 3 to make.
