Micheladas are a pretty common drink throughout Mexico and Latin America, and for good reason: they’re tasty when it’s hot out.  There are many different types of micheladas, depending on where you’re at, but in the warmer areas of South America they are just lemon, salt and beer (in other areas they can be more complex, and sometime spicy).

Preparation:  Salt the rim of a pint glass,  squeeze about a half a fresh lemon into the bottom of the glass, add a cold light beer, enjoy. 

This is a simple drink that’s easy to make, tastes great on a hot day, and doesn’t cost much to make.  I get sick of them after one or two, but it is a nice change every once in a while.
