When you want a drink, it doesn’t get easier than a Chelada! You just need three things to put a Chelada together; Mexican Lager, kosher salt (a little Tajin for extra flavor if you want!), and fresh limes. It is a refreshing beer drink, yet has layers of flavors to enjoy. It’s time to sit back, relax and sip on an ice cold Chelada!
We also love a Michelada, which is ice cold beer mixed with spices and seasonings and a little tomato juice. And a Beermosa, which is a mimosa made with beer! You can’t go wrong with either drink.
This fresh lime salt mixture would also be amazing on the rim of the Chelada glass.
Mexican Style Lager Beer
Just like in the Michelada Cocktail you want to use a Mexican Style Lager Beer that is light in flavor. It will make for the most refreshing Chelada. We like to use:
- Corona Light
- Sol
- Modelo Light
- Pacifico
- In a jam a Bud Light Lime works too!
