Notes
1. To rim the glass, you can use our chili lime seasoning recipe, which is perfect for many different Mexican and international dishes and drinks. If you prefer store-bought, you can try Tajín seasoning—or just use salt.
2. If you can't find Maggi seasoning, soy sauce should also work reasonably well.
3. You can use bottled lime juice for your michelada, although fresh tastes best.
