Equipment

  • Glass that has been cooled in the freezer

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can/bottle of beer Mexican beer like Modelo or Sol, or just local pilsner or lighter beer
  • juice of 2 limes
  • salt

Instructions
 

  • Cut limes in half. Rub half of the lime around the edge of the glass to make the salt for the salt rim stick
  • Put salt on a little plate and make a salt rim by pressing the glass in the salt
  • Squeeze the limes and pour juice in the glass. Add beer of your choice

Notes

In some places ice is added to the drink. Unless you are a very fast drinker, that will make your chelada really watery. Best is to use a cold beer and a cold glass so you can still enjoy a very cold drink.
