Make it.

  1. Rim a tall glass with worm salt and fill with ice.
  2. Add mezcal, lime juice, Worcestershire, and hot sauce; stir gently.
  3. Top with beer and stir once.

To Serve

Garnish with a lime wheel and a tiny pinch of worm salt on the rim.

Ritual

Sip from the rim first, then let the cerveza wash it clean. It’s a rhythm that keeps the drink alive.

Adapted from the existing Don Catrín recipe.

Story

A michelada is a road-trip in a glass — spicy, tangy, and made for long afternoons. Mezcal adds a smoky backbone that turns it into something deeper.

The worm salt rim is not optional here; it’s the first taste, the spark that wakes everything up.

This is a drink for loud laughter, late meals, and the last hour of sunlight.

Notes & Variations

  • Add a splash of tomato juice for a fuller body.
