Michelada
- 24 oz Mexican-style lager very cold

- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Mexican hot sauce plus more to taste
- 1/2 tsp Maggi seasoning or soy sauce
- 1 cup ice cubes optional
Instructions
Prepare the Glasses:
- Spread chile-lime seasoning on a small plate. Rub a lime wedge around each chilled mug and dip the rims in seasoning.
- Add ice to the mugs if using.
Mix and Serve:
- Stir tomato juice, lime juice, Worcestershire, hot sauce, and Maggi seasoning in a small pitcher.
- Divide the seasoned base between the mugs. Slowly pour in the cold lager, stir once gently, and garnish with lime wedges. Serve immediately.
