Scale

Seasoning Mixture

  • ¾ cup chile-lime seasoning ($0.20)
  • 2 tablespoons food-grade citric acid ($0.10)
  • 1 tablespoon baking soda ($0.02)
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce (or vegan Worcestershire sauce) ($0.16)
  • 13 teaspoons chamoy sauce ($0.02)
  • 13 teaspoons Valentina hot sauce ($0.03)

Additional Ingredients

  • 12 Pulparindots candies ($0.10)
  • 6 Cervezas (Modelo, Sol, Pacifico, or similar beers)
  • Lime wedges (for rimming glasses)
  • Salt (for rimming glasses)
  • Optional: Tajin spice or chamoy rim dip (for rimming glasses)

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine chile-lime seasoning, food-grade citric acid, and baking soda to create the base seasoning mixture.
  2. Add Sauces and Blend: Add soy sauce, 1 teaspoon chamoy sauce, and 1 teaspoon Valentina hot sauce to the dry ingredients. Press and mix with a spatula or your hands until the mixture holds together when pinched. Adjust by adding more chamoy or hot sauce if it is too dry.
  3. Shape the Michelada Bombs: Transfer the mixture into a dome-shaped silicone mold or large measuring spoon (½ or 1 tablespoon size). Press down firmly to ensure a solid shape.
  4. Insert Pulparindots (Optional): If using Pulparindots, place half the mixture into each mold, press down firmly, add one Pulparindot candy, then cover with remaining mixture and press firmly again to seal.
  5. Freeze: Cover molds and freeze overnight or for at least 1-2 hours until the bombs are solid.
  6. Prepare Glasses: Rim glasses with lime wedges and salt, or with chamoy and Tajin or chamoy rim dip for extra flavor.
  7. Serve: Pour beer into the prepared glass and drop a Michelada Bomb into the beer. Allow it to melt and infuse your drink with spicy, tangy flavors. Enjoy your refreshing Michelada!

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of chamoy and hot sauce to suit your spice preference.
  • Use a silicone mold or measuring spoons to achieve uniform shapes and easy removal.
  • Freezing for at least 1-2 hours ensures the bombs maintain their shape in the beer.
  • Rimming glasses enhances the drinking experience with complementary salty, tangy, and spicy flavors.
  • Pulparindots add a surprising candy flavor and texture inside the bombs but can be omitted if unavailable.
