Savory with sting…
There’s no doubt that when you look at a spicy Mexican michelada recipe that your mind can easily go into overload trying to comprehend the possible flavor. Stop trying, just trust us: It’s shockingly delicious. There’s a savoriness here, tangy, salty, and spicy. And through it all is a very subtle fish undertone from the Clamato. It’s a strange mix, yes, but it all just works.
The heat source is Tabasco and cayenne pepper from the coated rim. If you want a little more heat, add a pinch or two of cayenne directly to the recipe. It’ll liven things up.

For the rim seasoning
- 1 lime wedge sliced in the middle for garnishing

Notes

- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon celery salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon celery salt
