A michelada is a Mexican cocktail made with beer, lime and salt, at its most pure and simple, says MariCarmen Ortiz Conway<\/a>, one of our favorite Mexican cooks and a tequila connoisseur. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201dThe most important thing when making Michelada is that you have an ice-cold, frosted-rim glass. It must be ice-cold and frosty \u2014 hence the root of its name: mic-helada<\/em><\/strong>, from the word frozen<\/em>,\u201d says MariCarmen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also key, adds MariCarmen: \u201dI always use blonde beer. Because it\u2019s from Mexico, so the beers I make it with tend to be Mexican: \u00a0Modelo, Pac\u00edfico, Tecate, Victoria o Corona. But you can also make it with any type of lager that has a smooth, light taste.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201dA michelada is very refreshing. It\u2019s one of my favorite things to drink after a day at the beach, or before the beach, and also during. The lime and the salt make the beer more acidic and different giving it a bright, delicious sabor refrescante.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Petr\u00f3leo is a sauce made from three other sauces: Worcestershire, Maggi and tabasco. Mix an equal amount of Worcestershire sauce and a seasoning popular in Mexico called Maggi.<\/p>\u2014MariCarmen Ortiz Conway, gifted Mexican and tequila connoisseur<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201dThere are many ways to make a michelada. Some people use Clamato or any spicy tomato juice. Or to make it more sophisticated, you can give it an extra kick by adding what is called petr\u00f3leo or petroleum to this drink. Petr\u00f3leo is a spicy concoction that works with both micheladas and tequila. The recipe for how to make it is below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201dAs to rimming the glass, that’s up to you. You can dip the glass in lime and press it into margarita salt or taj\u00edn, a ready-made orangey-red-colored condiment you can buy made of dried chiles, salt and dehydrated lime. It\u2019s not as spicy as you may think and also gives your michelada an extra kick. I love taj\u00edn. I also love to add petr\u00f3leo,\u201d MariCarmen says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is Petr\u00f3leo? And How Is It Used in a Michelada?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201dPetr\u00f3leo is a sauce made from three other sauces: Worcestershire, Maggi and tabasco,\u201d says MariCarmen. \u201dMix an equal amount of Worcestershire sauce and a seasoning popular in Mexico called Maggi. Maggi has an umami flavor and is sort of like Worcestershire, sort of like soy sauce but slightly different than both. Mexican cocineros often put a drop or two of Maggi in soups and stews to give it deeper, beef-like flavors. And third, add about 10 drops of tabasco sauce, depending on how spicy you like things. Y ah\u00ed est\u00e1: You’ve got petr\u00f3leo.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MariCarmen was inspired to share this refreshing recipe when she was specially asked by Familia Kitchen co-founder Lisa\u2019s husband Ted, who loves<\/em> micheladas. \u201dI called my brother in Mexico who owns a restaurant and serves a lot of them. Here is our family recipe for michelada with petr\u00f3leo.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Para t\u00ed, Ted. This one is for you, Ted. \u00a1Salud!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
