While the michelada may sometimes get overlooked in favor of its American cousin, the Bloody Mary, with National Michelada Day coming up on Friday, July 12, the time is right to give the Mexican beer cocktail the attention it deserves. Here are some recipes from San Antonio-based Twang to help you acknowledge the drink holiday. Twang’s drink product lines include Beer Salt and Twang-A-Rita cocktail rimming blends.
These salts and seasonings are designed to easily add flavor and spice to at-home alcoholic and elevate simple beverages to cocktail bar status. Twang-A-Rita Sunrise Spice and Michelada Especial Beer Salt are two products specifically designed to pair with the michelada, the spicy, tomato-lime mix introduced to us by Mexico, which has since become a staple throughout South Texas where the family behind Twang is based.
While Micheladas originated in Mexico, their fun, zesty style has become a huge hit across America. Your readers can learn how to make their own from home with Twang’s products, which are available throughout the country in 46 states, in grocery stores like HEB and Walmart, convenience stores and online as well as Amazon.
