In Mexico itself, the simpler variant than Chelada is more often preferred: Two fingers of pure, freshly squeezed lime juice are placed in a pre-chilled, straight, tall glass with a strong salt rim and then topped up with ice-cold (light) beer. Traditionally, clamato juice (powdered clams ) is used as a condiment .
origin
The origin of the word is unclear. The word Michelada probably comes from the Spanish "mi chela helada" (= my cold beer ). There are also rumors about a Mexican general Augusto Michel from San Luis Potosí at the time of the Mexican Revolution , who mixed the indigenous spices of Mexico with beer and is said to have given the drink his name. In Mexico, the michelada became particularly popular in the 1940s.
