Michelada de piña (pineapple michelada)
Beer, pineapple juice and Tabasco come together to make the ultimate refreshing summer cocktail.
Equipment
- 2 pint glasses or hollowed-out pineapples if you want to be fancy!
- 1 cocktail spoon
Ingredients
For the rim
- 1 tbsp chile lime seasoning or Tajín see notes
- 1 pineapple slice or lime
For the michelada
- 1 beer Corona, Sol, Desperados or any lager - 12 oz
- 1 cup pineapple juice fresh or bottled
- 2 tbsp lime juice about 1 lime
- 1/2 tbsp Tabasco or more, that's up to you
- (crushed) ice
Instructions
- Place the chili lime seasoning on a shallow dish. Wet the glass rims with a slice of lime and dip in the seasoning to coat.
- Add your desired amount of ice to the glasses. Add 1 tbsp of lime juice each and however much Tabasco you want.
- Fill the glasses halfway with pineapple juice, about 1/2 cup each. Top off with the beer and gently stir.
- Decorate the glass with the pineapple or lime slice, plus whatever else you'd like to add. Voilà! Your michelada de piña is done. Enjoy and drink responsibly!
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. Alternatively, regular salt with a dash of chili powder will also work just fine.
2. You can use bottled lime juice, but I do think fresh tastes better.
3. The Tabasco can be swapped for any hot sauce you prefer. The spicy food addicts among us might want to go for something fierier, for example!
