Susana Villasuso's Michelada

Chef Susana Villasuso shares her simple Michelada recipe – a refreshing Mexican cocktail that's the perfect drink for a summer gathering. 'While there are many variations, you can expect a Michelada to contain a spicy tomato and lime juice mixture and ice-cold beer', explains Susana. 'This recipe uses non- alcoholic beer, but you can swap it for lager, if you like.'

Method

  1. In a jug, combine the juice of 2 limes, the tomato juice, 1 tsp spicy seasoning, 1 tsp flaky salt and the Worcester sauce or tamari*. Stir well and set aside.
  2. On a plate, combine the remaining spicy seasoning with 1 tbsp flaky salt, if you like. On a separate plate, add the juice from the remaining 4 limes. Take 4 tumbler glasses, dip the rims into the lime juice, then dip into the seasoning mix to coat the rims.
  3. Add ice to the glasses and divide the spicy tomato mixture equally among them. Top up with the non-alcoholic beer. Serve with any leftover beer and top up as you go along.
  • Tip: Swap the non-alcoholic beer for lager, if you like.
