The day I had my first taste of a bloody Mary backed with a Budlight shooter is the day I began ruining my liver, in downtown St. Louis. From that point on, I could be spotted at any social gathering from a great distance by people who didn't even know me. The loud one, that smart-ass drunk slamming vodka and tomato juice in one hand, light beer in the other. Oh gawd. Luckily, she doesn't do that anymore. It pains me to know that period could have been shortened long before I replaced my poison with Jager, if I'd just had more Mexican/Latino friends!!!
Blame the Mexicans...it's the American way!
Mi amigos let me in on a little summer favorite, one that they'd been keeping a big secret. Sort of. If you've never had a Michelada, but have tried a 'Chelada' made by Budweiser, it's the same concept. I thought I had found a super easy solution to having my bloody mary and beer in one container, but the tomato juice ratio was always too much and just seemed lacking in general. However, my first sip of homemade Michelada, I swear I heard supernatural creatures sing in perfect harmony!
Mine was made with Clamato Picante Cocktail, Modelo, limes, and Tajin(which my latinos pronounced like 'Cajun' because, well...Texas).
Try it with your fave Mexican beer, it's heaven!
Cut limes for garnish & to wet rim, dip in Tajin, add Clamato, adjust ratio with beer, enjoy!
