Chelada
Briefly

The Chelada is a refreshing Mexican beer cocktail made with just three ingredients: Mexican lager, fresh lime juice, and a spiced salt rim. It's a versatile drink perfect for any occasion, from brunch to casual dinners, and has become a go-to for easy entertaining. With origins as a 'cervesa preparada', its name likely derived from the phrase for 'my ice cold beer'. It contrasts with the similar Michelada, which incorporates additional ingredients. The simplicity and balance of flavors make the Chelada a delightful choice for summer gatherings.
There’s something magical about how just a splash of lime and a salt rim can elevate an ordinary beer into something extraordinary.
A Chelada is a type of cervesa preparada: a beer cocktail or 'prepared beer' in Spanish, popular across Mexico with no 'official' recipe.
