Savory. Citrus-y. Spicy. Quenching. Nixta‘s michelada, made using server Daniel Bulos’ family’s recipe, offers an elegant take on the classic Mexican cocktail. Nixta’s iteration includes all the traditional michelada components – tomato juice, hot sauce, Worcestershire, lime and soy sauce, topped with a glug of beer – plus celery salt, garlic powder and pepper for extra kick. Mix in the accompanying Modelo as you go or, for an especially spicy punch, just finish ’em separately.
