Beerita
A lively Tex-Mex party cocktail blending blanco tequila, fresh lime, and triple sec right into a bottle of ice-cold Mexican lager.
Chelada
The stripped-down Mexican original that Michelada is built on: cold beer, fresh lime juice, and a salted rim. No hot sauce, no Worcestershire — pure, elemental refreshment.

Which should you pick?
Pick the Beerita if you want something spicy and warming. Go with the Chelada if you'd rather have something smoother and more mellow. Both are bright and citrus-forward and light and refreshing, so if you enjoy one you'll likely appreciate the other.
