Tired of the usual beer? Bloody Mary is no longer that exciting? Why not
mix them up and have a michelada instead?
It’s a Mexican Bloody Mary made by mixing beer and lime juice plus an
assortment of peppers, spices and sauces. Goodbye ultra-sweet cocktails, the
spicy, savory cocktail is here!
Mixing beer and Bloody Mary—two of the most popular drinks in the
world—may not sound too exciting, but with one sip, your taste buds will surely
be singing and asking for more.
There are many variations of the michelada. The most popular one is the
recipe used in Mexico City. The base cocktail is made by mixing beer with salt
and lime, and then hot sauces and some slices of chili are added. From this,
numerous optional ingredients may be added such as serrano peppers,
Worcestershire sauce, Clamato, Camaronazo, slices of orange, chamoy powder or
Maggi sauce.
La Puente Restaurants is now one of the hotpots for the michelada. This cocktail is now
enjoying a lot of variations. Micheladas are served plain, or garnished with
candy sticks or seafood. To make the michelada taste even more interesting, a
few bars are using craft beer for the main ingredient instead of the
run-of-the-mill commercial beers.
If looking for a place to try the michelada, head for the LA bars that serve
the best micheladas.
The top 5 best restaurants that offer micheladas are:
Number 5: Angel City Brewery
The Angel City Brewery’s interior is tastefully designed with art deco
style and with lots of murals. Most of the beers offered in the Angel City brewery
are on established styles. But for their popular Srirachelada, things are taken
on a whole new level.
Angel City’s Srirachelada starts with beer (kegged or bottled). Sriracha
is then added, along with lime juice, Worcestershire cause, agave syrup,
Clamato (clam and tomato juice) and pickled banana pepper juice. The cocktail
is served over ice, in a glass with the rim dipped in chili salt.
This beer cocktail gives a slow burn.
Number 4: The Bellwether
Studio City, Bellwether’s seasonal restaurant, offers a mean michelada.
Dubbed as “Easy Like Sunday Michelada”, the beer cocktail is a mean mixture of
A1 Steak Sauce, Ballast Point Longfin Lager, tomato juice, lime juice and house
hot sauce made from habanero and carrots.
The michelada is served on a pint glass with salt on the rim and
garnished with a lime wedge. This michelada delivers a delightful spice that

with habanero (a house blend) to really up the heat of this mean michelada.
