Brunch Upgrade
Elevate your cocktail game with a smoky Birria Michelada. This traditional Mexican drink combines chilled lager, Clamato juice, fresh lime, and hot sauce inside an ice-filled glass.
The Star Rim
The real magic is the rim—a mix of coarse sea salt and FreshJax Birria seasoning that gives every sip a zesty, savory punch.
Good to Know: The tomato and acid components in quality birria seasoning make it a complex substitute for traditional Tajín or celery salt when rimming savory cocktails.
Ingredients
1 cold Mexican lager beer (like Modelo or Tecate)
1 large lime, Juice of
3 dashes Worcestershire sauce
2 dashes hot sauce (like Valentinas or Cholula)
4 oz Clamato juice (or tomato juice)
1 tbsp FreshJax Birria Seasoning
1 tbsp coarse sea salt, mixed together for the rim
Ice cubes
Directions
Mix the Birria seasoning and coarse sea salt together on a small, flat plate.
Run a lime wedge around the rim of a large beer glass, then dip the rim into the spice-salt mixture to coat it completely.
Fill the glass halfway with ice cubes.
Pour in the fresh lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and Clamato juice. Stir gently to combine.
Top off the glass slowly with the cold lager. Garnish with a lime wheel and enjoy.
