Ingredients

Scale

For the Cocktail

  • 2 cups Clamato juice
  • 4 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 tsp Tabasco hot sauce
  • 2 (12 oz) bottles Modelo Especial beer
  • 2 Limes, juiced

For the Glass Rim

  • ¼ cup Tajin seasoning

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Glass Rims: Using a wedge of lime, rim each glass by rubbing the lime juice around the edges. Then dip the lime juice-coated rim into a plate filled with Tajin seasoning, swirling the glass until the seasoning adheres evenly. Repeat this for each glass and set aside.
  2. Add Lime Wedges: Squeeze the juice of a lime wedge into each glass and drop the squeezed wedge into the glass for extra citrus flavor.
  3. Mix Cocktail Ingredients: Into each glass, add Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco hot sauce, and Clamato juice. Stir gently with a long spoon until well combined to integrate the savory and spicy elements.
  4. Add Ice: Add 3 to 4 ice cubes to each glass to chill the mixture without diluting the flavors excessively.
  5. Top with Beer: Slowly pour the chilled Modelo Especial beer into each glass over the ice and mixed ingredients. Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Modelo Micheladas.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of Tabasco for desired heat level.
  • Use fresh lime juice for brighter citrus flavor.
  • Serve immediately after adding beer to maintain carbonation and freshness.
  • Tajin seasoning can be substituted with chili powder and salt mix if unavailable.
  • Chill the beer beforehand for best results.
