To celebrate the fact that it's only 88° right now (instead of the 104° it's been this last week,) I sat on the patio, caught up on some back-issues of Bon Appétit, and drank a few of these:
I call this a Chelada (not to be confused with the Budweiser offering - or the Michelada on which the canned version is based).
Mexican Beer (here some left behind Modelo), Ice, Sea Salt, Lime. Refreshing as hell! I do like Micheladas as well - made by adding to the above: Clamato, Worcestershire Sauce, pick a Hot Sauce, Maggi Seasoning Sauce (or Soy Sauce as a substitute.) It's heartier but delicious. I get them often at MiCo's, and they have a great one at Pepe at Mito's.
, it was paid for with Cold Hard Cash, and that's that.
Mmm. I like to use those little key limes to bump up this cocktail to the next level. I think it makes a world of difference. Cheers.

Brad--I'm a huge chelada fan. There's nothing more refreshing for a hot day...or at least, nothing I'd like to drink!
