Referred to as a Mexican Bloody Mary, this Rojo Michelada cocktail uses Mexican beer instead of vodka, but still mixes it with the classic Bloody Mary . Our friends at Esquina Cantina are sharing their version of the cocktail with our readers, whether you’re enjoying it for happy hour or as hair of the dog.
How to Make Your Own Bloody Mary Mix
The mix you use for a Bloody Mary is important. It’s one of those drinks that’s memorable if it’s done well and equally memorable if it’s done poorly. We hope the Rojo Michelada can be the former and not the latter, and you can make your own sauce if you want to control the proportions. Luckily, making your own Bloody Mary mix is simple. It’s tomato juice, horseradish, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, two kinds of salt, black pepper and hot sauce. Combine them together in a mixing bowl, and then decant into a pitcher or bottle before you use the mixture.
