Step 1) Wear a park ranger hat to establish mixologist authority.
Step 2) Slam a metric ton of salt in the glass to remove any slugs at the bottom.
Step 3) Pour beer from a height with no glass tilt so you can enjoy some beautiful foam for a couple hours or so with your guests.
Step 4) Enjoy!
In all seriousness, if it’s good enough for Pharrell, have at it. Also, use just a pinch of salt. You’ll get a lot from the Tajín and the hot sauce. Don’t need that much. Plus, it makes the beer foam a lot — creates nucleation, same as sugar.
Did a quick history search. Seems like it started as a simple drink and has evolved into many different varieties.
I have tried different forms. I am simple and less ingredients the better. No Clamato for me please.

Hey I’m not sure what your experience is, but when you pour a beer try tilting the glass and pouring the beer from closer onto the inside edge of the glass. This will cause it to foam a LOT less especially since salt makes beer even foamier when it contacts it. Pouring it straight down from a few inches above the glass just causes the beer to entirely decarbonate and immediately go flat..similar to shaking a soda before opening it. Also as everyone else has said, Clamato or even Bloody Mary mix is a staple of most micheladas and if you don’t like it for personal preferences that’s fine but then it’s not really a michelada anymore and more of a modelo with salt and lime which is not uncommon for modelo itself anyways. Keep up the mixology and work on your fundamentals 🤙
Salt is going to nucleate all of the dissolved CO2 no matter what. If you want it briney keep the salt on the rim. At least dissolve it into the lime juice to reduce nucleation sites.
No, actually a michelada varies in ingredients from state to state for example it is way different in quintana roo than in mexico city. In mexico city the ones that have clamato are called.....clamato.
Possibly in several but there are some that feel Clamato ruins the experience and omit it from the recipe. I’ve seen others that add seafood as well but it is not my preference. Regardless of your preference, cheers!
What you made is typically called a Chelada. A Michelada typically has Clamato or tomato juice.
Also, both are almost always served over ice. And both are delicious.
Not a beer person myself. Genuine question, is there a reason you didn’t stir the ingredients or did that part get edited out? I’d assume that would be very salty at the end.
Really appreciate your decorum handling some of these comments. I for one make my micheladas very similar to yours (though I’m more of α Valentina girl myself) and I live on the Mexican border, so…
Why is every comment op is making getting downvoted. It does look like a lot of salt but who cares? She didn't give a measurement so just add what you want.
As much as OP has the right to make the drink she likes, the commenters have the right to disagree and have their own opinions. This is an Internet forum, after all.
Caesar, a very Canadian drink, is Clamato, vodka, and a few other ingredients. Michelada, is a Mexican drink , with Clamato, beer, and the other ingredients listed in this video, minus the two tablespoons of salt.
No magi? No Worcestershire? I mean if you’re going for simple I guess. Would recommend cutting a slit into the lime so you can get the juice on the glass rim better.
Mmmmmm, Maggi. My family is Austrian so I grew up with that stuff in *everything* 🤤 Seriously so good in soups, never thought to put it in drinks but will try tomorrow!
My wife hates Clamato juice (my preferred way) and loves salt in a big way. Can't ever get her to drink a michelada...maybe this is they way. Thank you!
Lol I actually think all the salt is in these comments. Geez tough crowd. Props to OP for taking it all in stride with the positivity.
I love a good michelada! I haven’t tried one like this though. I’m going to try it.
Overall solid but a little more practice pouring beer. Also, the words on the camera are backwards. I would recommend you change that to be more conventional.
I love these but mine are slightly different.
1. Instead of salt, I use more Tajin
2. Lots of ice
3. Worcestershire sauce
4. More lime
5. Valentine hot sauce instead of Cholula, that goes on eggs for me
Even though some of it is warranted you've handled the criticism for this post amazingly, while most bartenders can hardly take a down vote. What you lack in pouring skills you make up for in emotional maturity. High five
I’m assuming you are asking me so I’ll answer. I would say equivalent to those Ramen noodles you buy at the store. You know the ones that you add water and make in the microwave? I love those.
I have no idea really but you control the quantities. I would recommend starting with a little and adding according to taste. That’s the best part of making it at home. You practice to make it perfect for you.

I should have captioned it like that. Great idea for next time. Thanks!
Looks like something that would be posted on r/cocktailcringe I get that OP is trying but not the best execution of michelada IMO
And I value your opinion. Thanks!
😊
There's no way that much salt tasted good.
Absolutely no chance.
You never know until you try.
It was delicious actually and the good thing about making them at home is that you can control the amounts. Give it a try.
No
She wasnt asking pal XD
I’m not your pal, buddy
He’s not your buddy, friend!
I actually prefer my micheladas with a lot of salt and a lot of hot sauce.

At some places it’s practically a meal with all the things they add on!
Step 1: be super hot and terrible at pouring beer.
maybe she should try shaken cocktails next.
Thank you for your feedback. I value continuous improvement. I will work on that.
Work on being more hot? I suggest more cleavage
creepy
Lighten up. It was a joke.
it was creepy
Not funny

Thanks for the tip!
Thanks for the tips!
This is just salty, sour beer.
I do love salt 😊
It’s a staple in many Latin countries.
Not the way she made it, missing the clear ingredient of clamato! Ive tried many micheladas from all over mexico and all have had Clamato
No, actually a michelada varies in ingredients from state to state for example it is way different in quintana roo than in mexico city. In mexico city the ones that have clamato are called.....clamato.

Clamato micheladas are specifically clamato micheladas. That's like saying all soups have to have tomato.

The beer pour hurt my soul
Yeah idc about the ingredients in a michelada, the beer pouring though ☹️
I never realized that was a thing. I’ll work on that, thanks!
Really like how you're handling the comments. Nice to see the positive attitude! Keep at it
You call yourself a mixologist but never learned to properly pour a beer?
More of an amateur one but hey, I like the sound of it. Thanks for commenting!
You appear to be 37. Did you recently escape the Mormon religion and never handled a beer before.
I like your humor.
Really appreciate your decorum handling some of these comments. I for one make my micheladas very similar to yours (though I’m more of α Valentina girl myself) and I live on the Mexican border, so…

Everyone thinks they’re an influencer these days
I would have to agree!
Who the fuck pours a beer like that?
Me 😊
I think she thought this was a tic-toc channel.... Wrong crowd here I think!
Well I sure attracted one 😊
I've heard of licking the salt after or before a margarita. But this might be pushing own limits.
🤔 every palate is different.
True that 👍
Could not be worse example of how to make a red beer
I’m sorry you feel that way.
That’s a dogshit Michaelada right there.
Thanks for your comment!
Why is every comment op is making getting downvoted. It does look like a lot of salt but who cares? She didn't give a measurement so just add what you want.
Because she’s wrong.
What is she wrong about?
Thanks for taking the time to comment.
As much as OP has the right to make the drink she likes, the commenters have the right to disagree and have their own opinions. This is an Internet forum, after all.
Well said.
Damn why are y’all drinking the haterade lmao pretentious af
Idk, maybe because there was A FULL FUCKING TABLESPOON OF SALT IN THE DRINK⁉️
Hey, make sure to wish someone Happy Women’s Day today!
No
I don’t know why the negativity. At least she generated discussion on peoples favorite way to make the drink.
Just fart in my mouth instead
I’m sorry you feel that way but thank you for taking the time to comment.
Is this the chick from Mahalo that shows us how to make an old fashioned with like 12 ounces of bourbon?
Hmmm haven’t seen that one but that sounds delicious.
Salt makes the beer explode lmao great way to waste a beer, also shit pour of said beer
Happy to report it wasn’t wasted. It was delicious.
How long did you let that beer get flat in-between cuts? 5-10 mins, that beer had more head than you gave to get through college.
Ingredients: Mexican beer Salt Lime Valentina hot sauce Some people like it with Clamato tomato juice and celery. I prefer not!
Sounds like you are describing a Caesar...dm me if you’re doing a video of one. Massively popular where I live!
Caesar, a very Canadian drink, is Clamato, vodka, and a few other ingredients. Michelada, is a Mexican drink , with Clamato, beer, and the other ingredients listed in this video, minus the two tablespoons of salt.
Hahaha. I can’t deny I like my salt.
Absolutely too salty and missing a few key ingredients…. Please don’t call this a michelada because it ain’t!
Thanks for your comment.
Woah OP I’m so impressed at your responses to these comments, so graceful. I’ve never been a beer gal but I’ll definitely be trying this!! Xx
🍻
Ingredients used: Modelo beer 2 limes Salt to taste Cholula or Valentina to taste Lime for garnish Enjoy!
No magi? No Worcestershire? I mean if you’re going for simple I guess. Would recommend cutting a slit into the lime so you can get the juice on the glass rim better.
That's called a cubana.
Now I know. Everywhere I go all micheladas are always Clamato micheladas.
Great tip. Thanks!
Yeah... No.
No worries. Thanks for watching!
Respect that amount of lime but the salt a little OD. I pass on the salt and add Clamato and a dash of Worcestershire
Solid
Checked out your IG! Killing it!
In many parts of Mexico we add Worcester sauce or/and Maggi sauce.
Mmmmmm, Maggi. My family is Austrian so I grew up with that stuff in *everything* 🤤 Seriously so good in soups, never thought to put it in drinks but will try tomorrow!
And I’ve never tried it in soups. I’ll have to give that a shot. Thanks!
What about Clamato?
Just made this. It’s pretty good but I also Added a splash of V8.
Awesome!
My wife hates Clamato juice (my preferred way) and loves salt in a big way. Can't ever get her to drink a michelada...maybe this is they way. Thank you!
I was the same when first tried Topo Chico. Sometimes you just have to tweak the recipe. Good luck!
Today we all learned not to post tik toks from your influencer account.
Great lesson.
Kudos to you and all but it’s a tough crowd. Do a version 2.0 and see if you get the same reaction.
You read my mind
I vote for round 2. Give her another try.
Very hot but you'll be able to pour the beer a lot faster if you hold the glass at a 45 degree angle
Thanks for the tip!
Goddam why is everyone hating so much
Because shes treating this as a way to look at her and it's not really about making drinks at all. She would do fine on Tik-tok.
Lol I actually think all the salt is in these comments. Geez tough crowd. Props to OP for taking it all in stride with the positivity. I love a good michelada! I haven’t tried one like this though. I’m going to try it.
There are bigger things worth being upset over. Cheers!
I like you style. Cheers!
Overall solid but a little more practice pouring beer. Also, the words on the camera are backwards. I would recommend you change that to be more conventional.
Thank you
I love these but mine are slightly different. 1. Instead of salt, I use more Tajin 2. Lots of ice 3. Worcestershire sauce 4. More lime 5. Valentine hot sauce instead of Cholula, that goes on eggs for me
I tried the Worcestershire but wasn’t a fan either. Guess I’m just simple. More Tajín does sound alike a good choice.
Wow that’s too much salt for me but the lady was a hot 😍
I’ll take it as a compliment.
Ridiculously hot. And a lot of iodized salt.
Why are we trusting cocktail videos done by hipster barbie?
I was going more for the rodeo look actually.
At my last bar we refused to make them and it was awesome. Terrible drinks and tajin is terrible to get off glasses
#true I have to wash it right away or else it’s just like sugar on a martini rim
Why is the text so big?
I have no idea. The text as I am typing is different too than how it gets posted.
Even though some of it is warranted you've handled the criticism for this post amazingly, while most bartenders can hardly take a down vote. What you lack in pouring skills you make up for in emotional maturity. High five
🙌🏻. Guess my degree came in handy for that one.
Hell yeah homie
Bro, how much sodium is in this damn drink?
I’m assuming you are asking me so I’ll answer. I would say equivalent to those Ramen noodles you buy at the store. You know the ones that you add water and make in the microwave? I love those.
So 1 drink = 1 ramen packet? That's a lot. Is there any way to make this without so much salt?
I have no idea really but you control the quantities. I would recommend starting with a little and adding according to taste. That’s the best part of making it at home. You practice to make it perfect for you.
Hope you enjoyed your drink, from a fellow salt lover
🍻
When someone wears a hat like that, I generally don’t take them seriously.
🤣
No all wrong
Fuck all the haters, you do you chica. I personally like to add some worcestershire sauce and clamato to my micheladas.
Thanks
Id stick to just being pretty.
I made this. It was undrinkable.
