**Crunchy Michelada: A Refreshing and Flavorful Mexican Drink**
Originating from Mexico, the michelada is a unique and flavorful alcoholic beverage that combines the tanginess of lime juice, the spiciness of chili peppers, and the saltiness of Worcestershire sauce. This delightful drink is typically made with beer, but in this article, we present a non-alcoholic version that is equally refreshing and enjoyable. Along with the classic Crunchy Michelada recipe, you'll also find irresistible variations like the Spicy Mango Michelada, the Tropical Pineapple Michelada, and the tangy Tamarind Michelada. Each recipe offers a distinct taste experience, catering to different preferences and occasions. Whether you're looking for a zesty drink to quench your thirst on a hot summer day or a flavorful cocktail to spice up your next party, these Crunchy Michelada recipes have got you covered.
MICHELADA
Steps:
- Rim the outside of a tall, chilled pint glass with 1 quarter of the lime. Pour salt on a plate. Press the rim of a glass into the salt to rim the edge. Squeeze the rest of the limes into the glass. Drop the limes in the glass. Add the Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce. Fill glass with ice, add beer, and stir.

This twist on beer is typically prepared throughout Mexico with some combination of Tajin, chamoy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, tomato juice and Maggi sauce. This streamlined version plays up the sour and heat for a refreshing summer drink.

Steps:
- Combine the lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce and a pinch of salt in a tall glass. Fill the glass halfway with ice, then pour in the beer and stir. Serve with a lime wedge.
- Hot:
- This beer cocktail calls for any kind of hot sauce, so choose your favorite. We like Cholula and Valentina.
- Hotter:
- Mix equal parts kosher salt and chipotle chile powder. Moisten the rim of the glass with a lime wedge, then dip in the chile salt. Mix in the michelada as directed.
- Hottest:
- Rim the glass with chile salt (see above). Muddle 1 or 2 thin slices serrano chile pepper with the lime juice in the glass, then mix in the remaining ingredients as directed.

Steps:
- Stir together the salt and lime zest in a small saucer. Rub the cut side of a lime half over the rim of 2 pint glasses. Dip the rims in the lime salt to coat.
- Fill the glasses two-thirds full with ice. Squeeze the halved limes over the ice and drop the rinds into the glasses. Divide the tomato juice, chipotle peppers and lager between the glasses. Stir the mixture and serve immediately. Add football-carved limes for garnish if using.

CRUNCHY MICHELADA
Steps:
- Add the vegetable oil to a medium saucepan and heat over medium-high heat until hot. Add the tortilla strips, in batches if needed, and fry until crisp on both sides, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove to a paper towel lined plate and season with salt.
- Combine the salt and chipotle powder in a small mixing bowl and place on a flat tray or a large container lid. Set aside.
- Reserve 1 tablespoon lime juice in a small dish and combine the remaining lime juice with the tomato juice, hot sauce and Worcestershire and mix well. In a small bowl, mix the diced radishes, celery and cucumber.
- Dip the rims of 6 pint glasses into the lime juice, then into the salt mixture so a generous coating is on each rim.
- Put a couple large cubes of ice into each glass. Evenly divide the vegetable mixture on top of the ice. Divide the hot sauce-tomato juice equally among the glasses, then top with the beer. Garnish each with two tortilla strips.

CLASSIC MICHELADA
Steps:
- Place about 1/4 cup salt on a small plate. Rub the rim of a Collins or pint glass (or a 16-ounce Solo cup-no need to get fancy) with one of the lime wedges to moisten it, then dip the rim in the salt to coat.
- Combine the tomato juice, lime juice, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, Tajín, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl and mix.
- Fill the prepared glass about three-quarters full with ice cubes and add the tomato juice mixture. Top with beer and garnish with the remaining lime wedge.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
- If you don't have time to make your own michelada mix, you can use a store-bought mix.
- Be careful not to overcook the shrimp. They should be cooked just until they are pink and opaque.
- If you like, you can add other toppings to your michelada, such as avocado, cilantro, or jalapenos.
- Serve the micheladas immediately, while they are still cold and bubbly.
