The Michelada is Mexico's answer to the Bloody Mary — beer-based, tomato-forward, spicy, and deeply refreshing on a hot day. Our Michelada Shrub was developed specifically to make the perfect Michelada at home without any of the fuss. It's a concentrated blend of tomato, lime, Worcestershire, hot sauce, and our proprietary spice mix. One bottle makes 8–10 drinks. The result is a cocktail that tastes like it came from a beachside palapa in Baja.

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. 1

    Run a lime wedge around the rim of a tall glass or a chilled beer mug. Dip the rim in Tajín or chili-lime salt.

  2. 2

    Fill the glass with ice. Add the Michelada Shrub and fresh lime juice.

  3. 3

    Slowly pour the cold lager over the back of a spoon to preserve the carbonation. Stir gently once.

  4. 4

    Garnish with a lime wedge and serve immediately.

PRO TIPS

  • For a non-alcoholic version, substitute sparkling water or a Mexican-style sparkling water (Topo Chico) for the beer.
  • The Michelada Shrub also works beautifully as a cocktail mixer with tequila — use 1.5 oz tequila, 1 oz shrub, and top with sparkling water.
