“This recipe may sound a bit odd, but this is the best beer cocktail I have ever had. Very refreshing on a hot summer afternoon. Bet you can't drink just one. If you have sangrita, use it in place of the steak sauce.” - by Allan Tedford

Ingredients

coarse salt
3 cubes ice
1 lime, juiced
1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle Mexican beer
1/2 teaspoon steak sauce
1 dash cayenne pepper
1 dash black pepper
1 pinch dried oregano
1 pinch dried basil

"Hi! This is a very interesting recipe, I am from Mexico City, and the Michelada I know is made with Maggi sauce (Jugo Maggi), hot sauce or chili powder (chile piquin), lemons and salt. It is also bet..." See moreter if you use a very cold beer instead of ice, this way the taste of beer is stronger. "
