Beer? yes. Mezcal? yes! Shabazi? Oh yes! One of my favorite long drinks for a warm spring afternoon.

Shabazi Michelada

Ingredients

  • 2 ounces mezcal*

  • 1 ounce Valentina hot sauce**

  • 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce***

  • 1 ounce fresh lime juice

  • 1 teaspoon Shabazi plus more for garnish

  • a bottle of beer (my favorite easy to find beer for this is Negra Modelo, Bohemia Oscura is even better but a tough one to find)

  • Ice

Directions

  1. Add the mezcal, hot sauce, Worcestershire, lime juice, and Shabazi to a cocktail shaker filled with ice and shake until cold. Strain over fresh ice into two mugs or tall glasses, then fill with beer and give them a gentle stir. Garnish with a pinch of Shabazi if you like.

  2. If you like your michelada sweeter, try a splash of orange or blood orange juice or simple syrup in the shaker. It’s fun to find your sweet spot, and when you find it, there are few finer beverages.

  3. It's a perfect drink on its own. Or paired with fresh seafood (the light acidity is a great match). Or chips with guacamole and/or pico de gallo.
