GINA Pat says no Super Bowl should ever be viewed without a beer, but I’m the queen of cocktails, and who needs regular beer when you can have a Michelada cocktail? When we filmed the show Road Tasted with the Neelys, we discovered this spicy beer in Santa Fe, where it is generally served during Fiesta. It has such a unique flavor, and sometimes it’s nice to mix it up and serve the totally unexpected . . . but you definitely need to be ready for the spice. If you want to add a little something special, you can rim your glasses with lime, put salt and chile powder on a separate plate, and dip the rims of the glasses in it—just to give the cocktail a little something extra! Go ahead—drink it, and score a touchdown!

Step 1
Place the salt (mixed with chile powder, if using) in a small dish. Rub a lime wedge over the edge of two tall pilsner glasses, and then dip into the salt. Fill the glasses with crushed ice, and reserve the remaining lime wedges for garnish.
Step 2
Mix the Rose’s Lime Juice, beer, and hot sauce together in a pitcher. Pour into the ice-filled glasses, garnish with lime wedges, and serve.
