Sunday Morning Michelada

After a couple weeks of nonstop social distancing, the breakfast beer routine starts to lose its sheen. You can prolong the novelty a bit by rotating in some light breakfast cocktails, with the added benefit of a rush of electrolyte and spice to get that metabolism fired up for a day of sitting on the couch!

Michelada Recipe

First, prepare the Tajín rim

• Pour a bit of Tajín into a bowl
• Rub a quarter lemon around the rim of your glass
• Roll the rim of your glass through the Tajín

Then, mix the drink

• Fill about a third of the glass with tomato juice or bloody mary mix
• Add a dash of worcestershire
• Squeeze the quarter lemon into the glass
• Dump the remaining Tajín into the glass
• Fill the rest with beer, ideally lager. I used Sierraveza

As the day progresses, you can easily make more, or transition into a Bloody Mary or Bloody Maria situation.

Bonus Bloody Maria Recipe

• Follow the same recipe as above, but with twice as much lemon and a bit more Tajín in the drink
• Add a couple ounces of Tequila Blanco
• Add three or four ice cubes since you don’t have a cold beer this time
