Michelada Cocktail and Mocktail Recipes

National Michelada Day is on July 12th and what better way to celebrate than with an authentic Mexican beer salt company, Twang! The Michelada is one of Mexico’s most popular drinks, and one of the most fun to make. Some would describe it as a Bloody Mary made with beer instead of vodka, but it’s so much more. In Mexico, the traditional michelada, also known as chelada, consists of a light-bodied beer seasoned with fresh lime juice, served over ice in a salt-rimmed glass, which goes down easily on a hot summer day. But many variations exist, and there are many recipes. Twang, the Latino-owned company that has pioneered beer salt’s acceptance for people all over the US, has made “dressing your beer” a common practice. They have created a whole new meaning for salt-rimmed cocktails with their beer salt.

Below they share a virgin and non-virgin recipe for their famous micheladas and how to dress them.
