In the June issue of
Bon Appetit , the food mag features a recipe for the fiery michelada. This sizzling concoction of beer, Tabasco, lime, and salt is a summer refresher with after-burners. The first sip is cool and refreshing, then the slow burn of Tabasco takes over, leading to another gulp.
For a bit of the legend surrounding the thirst-quencher, read our
story "Cerveza en Fuego " from last summer. And, if you don't want to mix up a michelada yourself, order one at
Mezcal or
Tambien .
