Michelada is a Mexican beer-based cocktail with a spicy kick. Since it is easily adaptable to different tastes and preferences, Michelada can be prepared in a variety of ways with beer as a base, and the addition of lime juice, salt, and assorted spices, hot sauces, and peppers.
Due to its spiciness, it is often used as a hangover cure. The variety prepared with clam and tomato juice is known as Clamato, while the version with Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, chili, and salt goes under the name Cubana.
