Michelada - Spicy beer cocktail, lime
The Michelada is a refreshing and boldly-flavored beer cocktail popular in Mexico and Latin America. This spicy and tangy drink is perfect for those who love a bit of heat and zest in their beverage. A Michelada is typically made by rimming a chilled glass with salt, filling it with ice, and then combining a light Mexican beer with fresh lime juice, assorted sauces, spices, and tomato juice. Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and soy sauce are common additions that add depth to the flavor. Garnished with a slice of lime or a sprig of cilantro, the Michelada is a fantastic drink for summer parties, barbecues, or as a brunch accompaniment. Description by ChatGPT.

Instructions:
1. Cut the lime in half. Squeeze the juice of half the lime into a large container, saving the other half for garnish.
2. Into a Collins glass, add 2 teaspoons of Mexican hot sauce. Choose your favorite brand, such as Tapatio, for authentic flavor.
3. Add 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce to the glass to infuse a complex, umami depth to the cocktail.
4. Sprinkle a generous pinch of kosher salt into the glass, providing a salty contrast to the spicy and tangy notes.
5. Fill the glass with ice cubes, but remember that no fancy ice is needed—this is meant to be an uncomplicated summer drink.
6. Stir the mixture in the glass to combine the hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and salt with the squeezed lime juice.
7. Take the ice-cold Mexican beer (Modelo is a great option) and gently pour it into the glass over the spicy and savory base.
8. Give the cocktail a quick swirl to mix everything together seamlessly.
9. To garnish, cut the remaining half of the lime into a thin slice, making a slit midway to enable it to perch on the rim of the glass.
