Why don't they just throw a steak in it and call it dinner! Mexican Companies Pushing Spicy Beer Mixer By WILL WEISSERT Associated Press Writer MEXICO CITY Now that Americans have become accustomed to sticking lime wedges in their beers, Mexican companies are hoping they will start reaching for cold ones with a spicy kick. Brewers, distributors and a company peddling a pre-made mix are trying to cash in on the michelada - beer served with lime juice, assorted sweet-and-sour spices, chile pepper, ice and a salted rim - which has been a best seller south of the border for decades. "The michelada isn't new for Mexico, but in the United States it's something special, something they only began to try recently and they like," said Santiago Clariond, owner of Compania Alimenticia del Norte SA, which makes MicheMix. "More people are getting to know the michelada every day," he said. The trend has gained steam as American tourists tasted the drink on trips to Mexico, then looked for something similar back home. Visitors to Mexican travel Internet bulletin boards have referred to micheladas as "beer lemonade."

Great, almost cause for a new style creation on BP: "The Michelada." That would be the only reason I'd ever by one, just to keep the 100% style status, lol. Nasty.

...why not introduce other pitiful attempts to make the tasteless beer taste like something...? //TB

The recipe I used: juice of 1/2 lime Salted rim 2 dashes Worcestershire sauce 1 dash soy sauce 1 dash Tabasco sauce 1 pinch black pepper 12 ounces beer All this mixed with ice (courtesy of Gourmetsleuth.com) I tried with Bob's '47. Certainly an interesting concoction. I could see doing this for a Mexican swill lager like Corona or Pacifico, it would definitely improve the beer. It's a little spicy and salty with a hint of lime. Nice for hot weather and a lot less sweet than a margarita.
