Spicy Cucumber Michelada
This Spicy Cucumber Michelada recipe post was made in partnership with Cocktail Artist. Recipe and ideas are my own.
Football is a huuuuge deal in my house. Nearly every Sunday during football season you can find us flipping between all the games on television surrounded by snacks and a Bloody Mary or two. Naturally, I’m in charge of the cocktails, and last week I decided to mix it up and make Micheladas. But I didn’t make just a regular Michelada, I made a spicy cucumber Michelada.
The star of this spicy cucumber Michelada is Cocktail Artist’s Bloody Mary mix. I typically make my own mixers, but Cocktail Artist does such a great job with this product. It uses a proprietary spice blend and has hints of Worcestershire and cayenne pepper. And, coincidentally, it tastes amazing with the Mexican-style lager a Michelada needs!
I made my version with Pacifico Beer, but feel free to use whatever Mexican-style lager you’d like! And feel free to have fun with the garnishes on this one. See below for a super easy and fun way to turn a lime into a football!
And if you aren’t already, definitely follow me on Instagram and Facebook, to make sure you never miss a recipe, get tons of behind the scenes pics of everything I’m shaking up, shooting and enjoying!
