Ingredients
Scale
For the Drink
- 2 ounces Pomi tomato juice
- 1/2 ounce cucumber juice
- 1 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon sauce from a can of chipotles in adobo
- 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce

For Garnish and Rim
- Cucumber spears for garnish
- Lime wedges for garnish
- 2 tablespoons coarse salt
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
Instructions
- Prepare the Salty Chili Rim: On a small plate, combine the coarse salt and chili powder together thoroughly. Use a lime wedge to moisten the rim of your glass, then dip it into the chili salt mixture to create a flavorful rim.
- Add Ice and Juice Mixture: Fill the rimmed glass with crushed ice. Add the Pomi tomato juice, cucumber juice, freshly squeezed lime juice, chipotle sauce from the adobo, soy sauce, and hot sauce. Stir gently to blend all flavors evenly.
- Top with Beer and Garnish: Slowly pour the Mexican beer over the mixture and stir lightly to combine without losing carbonation. Garnish the drink with cucumber spears and lime wedges. Serve immediately and enjoy your smoky cucumber Michelada.
Notes
- If fresh cucumber juice is unavailable, blend peeled cucumber and strain for a fresh substitute.
- Adjust hot sauce amount to suit your preferred spice level.
- Use a light Mexican beer like Modelo or Corona for best traditional flavor.
- Chilling the glass beforehand enhances the refreshing experience.
