We enjoyed a few of these at BC's over the Thanksgiving holiday. (And did need them!) Am wondering if Ernie would part with a recipe for the "base" they prepare to add to the Belekin over ice? Even a list of ingredients so that we could experiment. I know it would never taste as good as one drank sitting en palapa at BC's but it would sure bring back great memories!

Thanks, Bev and John

google it, there are several sites.

'jack-a-roe' was an old song the dead used to perform....

Totally agree - BC's are the best!! None of the "traditional" website recipe are even close - for one thing they don't call for Marie Sharps!
I watched and wrote down ingredients as Ernie made them once. I have the list at home and will try to remember to PM it to you.

Yummmmmmmm!

They are an excellent way to get your beer for breakfast without the guilt!!

Similar to a Bloody Mary with Beer replacing the Vodka and Tomato Juice.

they were just meant as a guideline...sheesh. just call me "can do no right".

okay!!

Do NOT try the Mexican one with Maggi. Had that in Chet, it's awful.

Simon, what's Maggi? (I could look it up, but I'm feeling lazy! )
there's no tomato juice in a michelada - and Janie, you really have to do something about that persecution complex, girl! All I was saying was the online recipes for a "traditional" michelada don't have the same ingredients as the ones made in Belize. The Mexican version is different. Plus, I know of a couple of things you do very well...

And a "chelada" is simply beer, ice, salt, and lots of lime juice. Right?

Depends where you're at in Mexico, too...sometimes a "michelada" is made like a "chelada" and vice-a-vera.

At least that's what I've personall experienced.
