This classic Michelada – a staple of the hot summers in Mexico and the American Southwest. It’s refreshing, delicious, and simple to make. This classic Michelada does NOT take tomato juice or Clamato juice. There are tons of variations, especially by area, but this is the original, the OG, the basic, Michelada! Trust me when I say that you’d never think to mix hot sauce and beer, but will wish you’d known sooner!
