Flavor Enhancement: The acidity and brightness of the lime juice can enhance the flavor of the beer, adding a refreshing citrus note that complements the light, crisp taste of Corona. Tradition: The practice has become a cultural tradition, especially in beach and vacation settings, where Corona is often enjoyed.
RecipePreparation Slightly pop the top of a Modelo Especial can, enough to release pressure but do not fully open. Squeeze lime juice onto the top of the can rim. Add a few shakes of beer salt and Tabasco over the opening. Serve the remaining Modelo Especial with the cocktail.
Limes, which are high in citric acid and low in sugar, have a sour or tart flavor to them. They have the ability to bring balance to strong drinks by cutting through the alcohol. Conversely, in a subtle spirit, lime can be overpowering and so a more subtle use is desired.
Add ice and 2 tablespoons lime juice to each mug. Pour in the beer and drink before the ice melts.
Others suggest that Corona's clear bottles leave the brew prone to a skunky flavor and aroma — as exposure to light causes the bitter alpha acids in beer to transform into the same chemical contained in a skunk's spray — and that the fragrance of lime juice helps mask this odor.
You can create your own authentic michelada experience with the Modelo Chelada® Limón y Sal. Garnish the rim of your glass with salty sweet chamoy and chile powder and add some extra zing with a splash of lime juice. Want your michelada to pack an extra twist? Add a shot of tequila, and enjoy.
Use this guide to convert fresh limes into the desired amount of juice: 1/2 Lime = 1 Tbsp Lime Juice. 1 Lime = 2 Tbsp Lime Juice.
My honest and least sexy suggestion is to do what so many beer drinkers do when they want a lemon or lime flavor in their beer . . . cut a piece of fresh, juicy citrus fruit, hold it over your glass, give it a squeeze and drop it in your brew — simple and effective!
At its best, a michelada is one of the great drinks of summer, a low-alcohol concoction of cheap, light Mexican beer (think Modelo, Victoria, Tecate, PacÃfico, or Corona); fresh lime juice; and chile heat.
When people think of putting lime in beer they usually name the Mexican style layers. That being said, I occasionally squeeze a little lime juice in a Miller High Life or regular Budweiser and it's just as effective. Really, any American style macro lager will do.
