Make it.

  1. Rim the glass with Don Catrin worm salt.
  2. Mix lime and sauces in the glass first, then add ice.
  3. Pour the dark beer and stir once.

To Serve

Garnish with a lime wheel.

Ritual

Let the dark beer settle, then sip from the salted rim.

Adapted from the existing Don Catrín recipe.

Story

La Cubana leans into depth — darker beer, heavier sauces, a richer finish.

Worm salt adds smoke and keeps the boldness balanced.

This is a michelada for nightfall: dark, savory, and slow.

Notes & Variations

  • Add a splash of clamato for extra depth.
