This mashup of a Michelada and Margarita is a big ¡a huevo! (or “hell, yeah”). Tequila gets a sweetening assist from Bud Light Lime-A-Rita, fresh lime juice pushes the acid forward, and hot sauce (I’m a Valentina guy, but follow your heart) leaves a gentle burn on the end.

Ingredients

  • 2 oz Tequila
  • 1/2 oz Lime juice
  • 3 dashes Hot sauce
  • Bud Light Lime-A-Rita
  • Kosher salt

Steps

  1. Salt the rim of a rocks glass.

  2. Add the tequila and lime juice and hot sauce to a shaker with plenty of ice, and shake vigorously for 30 seconds.

  3. Strain into the prepared glass, and top with Bud Light Lime-A-Rita.
