The Michelada's exact origins are debated, but it is generally believed to have originated in Mexico in the mid-20th century. Several stories exist, including one attributing its creation to Michel Ésper in San Luis Potosí, who supposedly mixed beer with lime, salt, and ice in a unique way. Another theory suggests soldiers seeking to mimic beer rations created it.

The Michelada offers a vibrant and savory flavor profile, balancing the bitterness of beer with the tang of lime, the saltiness of the rim, and the spice from various sauces and seasonings.
The base flavor is beer, typically a light Mexican lager. Lime juice provides acidity and a refreshing zest. Salt, often coating the rim of the glass, adds a savory counterpoint. Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce (like Tabasco or Valentina), and sometimes soy sauce contribute umami and heat. The overall flavor experience is a complex blend of savory, sour, spicy, and refreshing.

Beer Selection
While light Mexican lagers are traditional, you can experiment with different beer styles to find your favorite Michelada base. Some people enjoy using dark beers or even IPAs for a bolder flavor.
Spice Level
Adjust the amount of hot sauce to control the spice level. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
Salt Rim
Use a lime wedge to moisten the rim of the glass before dipping it in salt. Tajin seasoning (chili lime salt) is a popular alternative to plain salt.
Fresh Ingredients
Using fresh lime juice is crucial for the best flavor. Avoid using bottled lime juice if possible.
Garnish
Get creative with your garnishes! Lime wedges, celery stalks, olives, shrimp, and even tamarind straws can add visual appeal and extra flavor.
