A quick and easy spicy tequila beer Chelada cocktail perfect for summer, combining tequila, Mexican lager, lime, tomato juice, and Tajín seasoning for a refreshing and flavorful drink.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 oz (60 ml) Tequila Blanco
  • 12 oz (355 ml) Mexican Lager Beer (e.g., Corona, Modelo Especial, Pacifico)
  • 1 oz (30 ml) Fresh Lime Juice
  • 3 oz (90 ml) Tomato Juice (low-sodium preferred)
  • 1 tsp Tajín Seasoning (for rim and inside)
  • A few dashes Worcestershire Sauce
  • Hot Sauce to taste (e.g., Cholula, Tabasco)
  • Salt for rimming (coarse sea salt or kosher salt)
  • Ice Cubes
  • Optional: 1 tsp Agave Syrup
  • Optional: Celery Stick or Lime Wedge for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the glass rim by pouring salt and Tajín seasoning evenly on a small plate. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of your glass to moisten, then dip the rim into the seasoning mix, rotating to coat thoroughly. Set aside.
  2. In a cocktail shaker or mixing glass, combine 2 oz tequila blanco, 1 oz fresh lime juice, 3 oz tomato juice, a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce to taste, 1 tsp Tajín seasoning, and if desired, 1 tsp agave syrup.
  3. Use a bar spoon to gently stir the ingredients to combine, avoiding shaking to preserve smooth texture and carbonation.
  4. Fill the prepared glass with plenty of fresh ice cubes.
  5. Strain the mixed base into the glass over the ice, leaving room for the beer.
  6. Slowly pour 12 oz Mexican lager beer into the glass, letting it cascade gently to preserve bubbles.
  7. Garnish with a lime wedge or celery stick and serve immediately.

Notes

Use freshly squeezed lime juice for best flavor. Stir gently to preserve beer carbonation. Adjust hot sauce and Tajín seasoning to control spice level. Use a crisp Mexican lager for authentic taste. Prepare rim and juice ingredients ahead for quick mixing. For gluten-free, use gluten-free beer or sparkling water. Tomato juice can be diluted if too thick or salty.
