You know the Michelada - a classic Mexican beer cocktail -- has hit mainstream when it's being bottled and sold in stores everywhere. But, to be clear, there are actually three main variations of this drink you'll come across when you travel to Mexico: the chelada (beer with lime and salt), a michelada (a chelada with worchestershire, Maggi seasoning, soy sauce, and hot sauce) or an ojo rojo, aka a red eye or a michelada made with Clamato juice and spices.
Often considered the Mexican Bloody Mary it is same same but different because it's beer based and the tomato-clam combo of the Clamato juice gives it a distinct flavor.
What it does have in common with the Bloody Mary? The Ojo Rojo is rumored to be just as good at curing a hangover! We say try it for yourself and let us know what you think!
