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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
