Srirachelada

Micheladas are popular beer cocktails south of the border, and when you have one on a sweltering hot day, it's easy to see why. The flavors of a Bloody Mary, jazzed up with the oh-so-refreshing bubbles only a cold beer can provide, plus a bright squeeze of citrus to boot? Yeah, I'll be in my hammock if anybody needs me.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    makes 4 servings

Ingredients

2 large limes, plus more for garnish
2 teaspoons Sriracha
4 dashes Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
8 fluid ounces (1 cup) Clamato, V8, or tomato juice
4 (12–fluid ounce) lager or pilsner beers, ice cold

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Squeeze the juice of 1/2 lime onto a small plate. Set aside.

    Step 2

    Juice the remaining limes into a small mixing bowl, discarding the peels and seeds. Add the Sriracha, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, and Clamato juice and mix.

    Step 3

    Rim four tall mugs with lime juice, followed by Sriracha Salt. Add a healthy scoop of ice to each. Divide the Clamato mixture evenly among the glasses, and top up each one with a beer, pouring slowly. Add a lime wedge to the rim of each mug for garnish, if desired.
