A MICHELADA FOR ALL (VEGAN AND GLUTEN FREE)

A Michelada for All (Vegan and Gluten Free) image

In my youth, a bartender in Mexico made me a michelada when he saw how hungover I was. I think he was an angel. It cured everything! I've adapted this recipe for gluten-free and vegan diets to be able to enjoy it now with my new dietary restrictions. This has been adapted from Joe's Famous Michelada on this site.

CHEF JOHN'S "SUNSET" MICHELADA

Chef John's

This spicy, savory, tangy, amazingly refreshing beer-based cocktail is considered one of the best hot-weather, adult beverages ever. I've heard it described as 'Bloody Mary meets Mimosa,' which makes me never want to go to brunch again, but it's also kind of accurate. You can use tomato juice or make your own using fresh cherry tomatoes.
