Alright, so you are sitting at home bored and thirsty af maybe even watching The Game thinking about how satisfying an adult beverage would be -- especially one with a "latin" kick. WEll luckily your boy Nooner is here to help!

That's Right Baby! Im Talking Michelada ultrathread. Post all of your favorite tricks and strats to making the perfect 'lada here everyone!

Here is my standard go to mix, but when it comes to 'ladaing it up

When it comes to making a Michelada there is no "wrong" way after all it is more of a state of mind than an actual beverage, but here is my favorite way to go about it:

First you start with the key ingredient -- delicious cerveza (also lol Mt. Dew in the picture DO YOU HAVE STAIRS IN YOUR HOUSE????)



I prefer Modelo Especial over all the other brands because it is "special" and makes me feel special too (:
anyways, you take them bad boys and dump 'em in a pitcher with some ice and there is step one.

Step two, you got your next stuff to dump into the pitcher.




Some people will use tomato juice instead of clamato, but they are faggots and retards. The richness of the clam juice helps cut down on the acidity of the tomatos or something idk.

anyways, next you have this:



but that is bullshit, gently caress it and dont use it, use this instead




it gives it a "creole" kick!


I found this at the market the other day and figured it might go good since it looked kinda "mexicany"



but it was bad do not buy it. the label says that it is not candy which makes me wonder if mexican kids think poop tastes like candy(?)



aaaanyways, mix everything all together and then you should have somethign that looks like this



then you need to mix up the stuff to rim the glass (lol rim like rimjob [eating butt])

'

I use salt and cayenne and this time I tried the whack rear end tajin but it sucked.

YES BARTOLIMU THERE IS CAYENNE PEPPER IN IT



then you mix them all together



like that!



cut up some limes and grab a glass. I prefer the small glasses but pint glasses also work well and hold even more!

Then you just gotta go outside and find a nice placeto sit and catch some rays while you enjoy your muy deliciouso y picante drink with a "latin" kick!



Bonjour!

I was talking with OP and wondering if there was a way to improve the drinkability of ladas. I have a similar problem with Caesars where I can really only have one because of saltiness. Particularly relevant as this recipe whips up a pitcher and I don't have any friends to share.

Is it the salty flavor that makes you not want more than one, or concerns over sodium? I'll assume the former for this reply.

There are a couple of ways to adjust for salt levels without making the drink sweet, which I think we can all agree is kind of disgusting. One is to up your lime game. I'm mystified by Nooner's dislike of Mexican lime/chile powder (though he did pick kind of a bad brand), because not only is that the canonical rim dressing of an authentic Jaliscan michelada, it also helps balance out the salt with increased acidity. If you're like Nooner or just don't want to go buy a chile/lime powder for one beverage, I can't blame you there - just use lime juice to wet the glass before rimming with salt, and add more lime juice to the michelada proper. That should help balance things out.

Another way to fix the salt situation is to use a stronger beer. While Modelo Especial is a good thing to use for micheladas, I prefer Modelo Negro for the richer, deeper flavor it brings to the drink. Plus the bottles are brown glass, which makes the beer less likely to be skunked if you don't have access to cans.

I also like to add some freshly ground black pepper to the rim when I make a michelada. It adds another kind of spice. Some folks might feel this veers too far into the territory of the Bloody Mary, though.

How much can you actually taste the clam? I had a bad experience w clams and an ex gf once and long story short they make me physically ill now. If its just tomato juice really then it sounds good.

These are great suggestions. Do you have any suggestions for replacing the clam juice? I love the idea of a michelada but am allergic to clams. I've made them with just tomato juice and enjoyed them, but nooner's notes on the savory kick make me feel like I'm missing out. Should I use soy sauce? Eel sauce?

Worcestershire sauce is pretty great in micheladas. It's called salsa inglesa in Mexico and is also part of my favorite bar snack of all time. It should add complexity and savoriness without setting off clam allergies.

Yeah, it's totally a taste thing! Thanks a ton, I'm hoping to do my first lada run this weekend and I'll stock up on limes as that's how I usually cut a caesar!

You really dont taste the clam at all, it jsut gives a little bit more of a richness to the drink which is very nice

It may have just been the brand but it tasted too sweet and not at all spicy, very disappointed in it however my mexican roommate was very excited when she saw it in the cabinet?

I guess she just understands that "latin" kick more than I do :shrug: using negro instead of especial sounds so crazy that it just might work though, I will have to givethat a try this weekend!

You can make a pretty solid ghetto michelada by adding some hot sauce and sangrita to beer. I don't have the sort of foresight to prepare for michelada days.

I'm really distraught and upset by all these loving bolillos calling them "ladas" when they're "michis" for short. Also the tajin you bought is for putting on fruits and veggies, not in drinks so that one is on you. There's also candy that is similar to it but not quite, hence the label.

I like to just make sure all of my liquid ingredients are ice-cold rather than using ice since it just dilutes the michelada further, and mixing clamato and lime juice with beer weakens the potency of the beer already.

Also, shame on you for not using fresh-squeezed limes, Nooner.

uuuhhhgg I know, i suck for using the concentrate but my juicer is really lovely and it takes forever to make enough fresh juice, I'm probably going to get one of these badboys soon



unless any of you more knowledgeable cooks would recommend against it.

As far as the ice, it is definietly a problematic situation. I'm not too worried about lowering the ABV% since im generally drinkin michi's just to chill and enjoy a tasty treat on a warm day (I'll hit the gin if im gettin' my buzz on) although watering down in general sucks, I'd rather have it a little watered down and cool than room temp.

I guess the best solution would be to maybe use those frozen whiskey rocks, but I feel like that would take a LOT to get the job done and at $16 per 6 pack I dont know if I could justify that -- tossing around that kinda bread just doesnt jive with the michi lifestyle, you know?

Nov 25, 2002


I have a couple of juicers like the one you're thinking about and they're very good. Be sure you get a nice heavy metal one and not plastic, though - the stress on the hinge can be pretty strong and lesser materials just don't last. As for whiskey rocks, find someone who does granite countertops and see if he/she is willing to give/sell you a few cube-ish pieces of scrap granite. The material cost for so little granite is about 5-10% of the price of whiskey stones, the rest is marketing and a quick polishing job that's not even really necessary.

This is pretty much the right way. Ice-cold mug, ice-cold beer, and keep your spicy tomato juice in the fridge too. I like v8 but really whatever tomato-drink you use is fine, so long as it's spicy, whether on its own or through added hot-sauce. Spicy michis are the way to go :kimchi:

Anybody planning on mixing up a big batch of michi's for the holiday weekend? I've got a buddy who is throwing a big BBQ bash so I figured I'd mix up a gallon or so to go with the burgs im bringing.

I'm thinking about upping the lime juice, currently when i make a big batch i do like 3 tallboys of beer and 1 use cup of lime, 3 cups clamato -- what is your preferred ratio?

I find the idea of "mixing up a big batch" abhorrent, your beer is gonna go flat. Just mix them in the mugs imo, and I prefer 3 parts beer to 1 part tomato juice with lime/salt/hot sauce to taste.
