History

Michelada is a traditional Mexican beer cocktail dating back to the 1940s, known for its savory, tangy profile enlivened with chili and citrus notes. Regarded as a perfect refresher on hot days, it offers a flavorful alternative to plain beer with a spicy twist. The cocktail’s bold, savory character pairs well with casual meals or afternoon relaxation. Michelada invites a moment of cooling refreshment with a dash of festive heat.
