June 2009 — The Michelada

As summer heats up, beer sales skyrocket. Here’s how we enjoy ours.

Tex-Mex Michelada

12 oz of light beer (light in color & flavor such as Corona, Budweiser, Miller High Life)
Juice of 2 limes
Dash Tabasco
Pinch of black pepper
Salt
Ice

Salt the rim of your glass or stein, fill 1/2 full with ice. Pour in lime juice. Add Beer (careful not to touch salt or it will fizz uncontrollably; tilt glass so you don’t get head.) Finish with Tabasco and pepper.
