Widely known as a “Mexican Bloody Mary" (red in color, flavorful and spicy), the Michelada substitutes beer for vodka. One popular tale has it that the Michelada's origin came from a man named Michel Ésper at Club Deportivo Potosino in San Luis Potosí, Mexico in the 1960s. Michel began to ask for his beer with lime, salt and ice in a special cup called a "chabela," as if it were a beer lemonade (limonada).

Other members of the club began asking for the cocktail as "Michel's lemonade," and the name eventually shortened to “Michelada."

As time went by, other ingredients were added to the mix.
Prepare this iconic Mexican cocktail, take a sip and imagine yourself discovering (or rediscovering) one of the world's favorite tourist destinations.
