Michelada Cubana

🍺
Photo coming soon

In much of Mexico a plain michelada is just beer with lime and salt, so you have to ask for a cubana to get the version with the dark sauces.

Beer is mixed with lime juice, hot sauce, Worcestershire and soy or Maggi sauce, sometimes with Clamato, and served over ice in a chili-salt-rimmed glass at beach carts, taco stands and cantinas across Mexico.

Why it's made this way: The michelada cubana is drunk across Mexico, a standard order at seafood and taco stands and a popular hangover cure.
