Michelada

By Connie Veneracion
Chelada is a mixture of beer and lime served in a salt-rimmed chilled glass, margarita-style. If spices or seasonings are added to the basic mix, it’s a michelada. Since our drink was sprinkled with cayenne powder, it definitely falls under the michelada category.
For best results, chill the glasses for at least 30 minutes before preparing the drink.
