Name: Michelada
Total time: 5 min
Ingredients: 1/2 lime, preferably a Key lime; Coarse salt; 2 dashes Worcestershire sauce; 1 dash soy sauce; 1 dash Tabasco sauce; 1 pinch black pepper; 1 dash Maggi seasoning, optional; 12 ounces beer, preferably a dark Mexican beer like Negra Modelo

And just what is in a michelada? In Mexico City, it consists of fresh lime juice, a trinity of Tabasco, Worcestershire and soy sauces, a pinch of black pepper and maybe (or maybe not) a dash of Maggi, the seasoning usually used for soups and stews. This mix makes up two or three fingers' worth of a tall glass. That glass needs ice in it. It needs beer. And it needs drinking. At least, I certainly think it does. It might sound like a hangover recipe, but to me it tastes like malted manna.

Squeeze the juice from the lime and reserve. Salt the rim of a highball glass by rubbing it with the lime and dipping it in coarse salt. Fill with ice.
