Michelada 👎

Recipe

  • 330ml Mexican lager

  • 15 ml lime juice

  • 2 drops Tabasco sauce

  • 2 dashes Worcestershire sauce

  • Ground black pepper

  • Salt

  • Cayenne pepper

  • Lime wedges

Wet the rim of a pint glass and run it through salt and Cayenne pepper. Then add everything but the beer, and serve to an unsuspecting customer.  The customer then adds the beer, making a horrible-looking swirly chunky mess.

This was pretty horrible.  I like a Bloody Mary or a margarita, so I was willing to try a drink with salt; and I like trying new things, and I was in a Mexican restaurant.  But this was seriously unpleasant, and I didn't finish it.  I think they actually put salt in the drink, which meant that I wasn't just getting a hint of salt from the rim (very nice in a margarita), but actually a salty beer.  Also they didn't include any ice, despite what the menu said, and warm lager is bad enough on its own.

Maybe it'd be worth another try with a bit more attention to detail.  As it is, this is probably only to be drunk as some kind of dare.
