Yes, yes, I know we\u2019re technically in winter or whatever, but I could\u2019ve sworn it was 75 degrees the other day; I digress. So, because I\u2019m a vegetarian, I\u2019m gonna show you how to make a <i>vegan<\/i> michelada. The traditional tomato juice ingredient, Clamato, had some clams sacrificed in its making, so we\u2019re just swapping it out from good-old, I-hated-drinking-it-as-a-kid V8 tomato juice.<\/p>\n<p>Ingredients:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Chamoy dip<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">1-2 vertical slices of cucumbers<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Ice cubes<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.campbells.com\/v8\/products\/v8-vegetable-juice\/original-100-vegetable-juice\/\">V8 vegetable juice<\/a> (should be the original, tomato-liking one)<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Beer<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\u00bc slice of lime juice<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Chile and lime seasoning (Taj\u00edn)<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Soy sauce<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Tapat\u00edo (optional if you like spice)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>First thing\u2019s first (\u201crest in peace Uncle Phil\u201d; don\u2019t mind my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=LR6ybr-BQYY\">J. Cole references<\/a>), grab a tall glass and dunk the rim into chamoy dip. (If you don\u2019t have chamoy dip, you can substitute it by rimming the glass with lime.) Then, sprinkle Taj\u00edn onto the rim to your liking.<\/p>\n<p>Put about two pours of soy sauce (I guess about three-fourths of a teaspoon?) at the minimum, but you can definitely add more at the end if you want it to be a bit more salty. If you like spicy drinks, here\u2019s where you could add Tapat\u00edo. My preference is about three shakes of the hot sauce.<\/p>\n<p>Squeeze your lime juice, and add your ice to cover about \u00be of your glass. Pour one part of V8 juice and stir the mixture. Then, pour two parts beer.<\/p>\n<p>Peel and then vertically slice thick strips of a cucumber. You\u2019ll just need two, and they\u2019ll be nice to nibble on while you drink. Top it off with sprinkles of Taj\u00edn, take a sip, and see if you need to tweak it in any way (e.g., adding more soy sauce).<\/p>\n<p>Micheladas are one of my go-to drinks because they\u2019re refreshing, flavorful and unique. Everyone kind of makes it a little different, so here\u2019s my version of it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Long Beach Post is here to help, and this week we are publishing a series of videos ahead of New Year\u2019s Eve on how to make our favorite drinks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":125,"featured_media":71871,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"newspack_sponsor_sponsorship_scope":"","newspack_sponsor_native_byline_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_native_category_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_style":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_placement":"inherit","inline_featured_image":false,"newspack_ads_suppress_ads":false,"newspack_popups_has_disabled_popups":"","_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"_":"","_author_alias":"","cap-aim":"","cap-description":"","cap-display_name":"","cap-first_name":"","cap-jabber":"","cap-last_name":"","cap-linked_account":"","cap-newspack_employer":"","cap-newspack_job_title":"","cap-newspack_phone_number":"","cap-newspack_role":"","cap-user_email":"","cap-user_login":"","cap-website":"","cap-yahooim":"","newspack_article_summary":"","newspack_email_html":"","newspack_email_type":"","newspack_featured_image_position":"","newspack_hide_page_title":"","newspack_hide_updated_date":false,"newspack_post_subtitle":"","newspack_show_share_buttons":"","newspack_sponsor_byline_prefix":"","newspack_sponsor_disclaimer_override":"","newspack_sponsor_flag_override":"","newspack_sponsor_only_direct":"","newspack_sponsor_url":"","newspack_article_summary_title":"Overview:","newspack_show_updated_date":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[3,31970],"newspack_spnsrs_tax":[],"coauthors":[25587],"class_list":["post-28180","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hi-lo","tag-instagram","tag-cocktail-party","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/esd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28180","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/esd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/esd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/esd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/125"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/esd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28180"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/esd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28180\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/esd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/71871"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/esd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28180"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/esd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28180"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/esd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28180"},{"taxonomy":"newspack_spnsrs_tax","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/esd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newspack_spnsrs_tax?post=28180"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/esd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=28180"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
