One of my favorites! Actually I think last night I may have had one too many. They taste so good, you forget what it is. And you get all the calcium you need for the day. What a drink! This is supposed to be made with half and half, but its too heavy for me, so I use low-fat milk. Ingredient amounts can be adjusted to personal preference.
Recipe as displayed on the wall at Cabo Wabo Cantina, Sammy Hagar’s restaurant/bar in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. VERY potent! Can be served straight up as a martini, on the rocks, or blended as a frozen margarita. FYI: Damiana Liqueur is a light herbal-based liqueur from Mexico. It’s made with the damiana herb that grows in Baha California, Mexico. The bottle is uniquely shaped and is modeled after an Incan Goddess.
During our annual New Years Eve Party, while drinking mass quanities of these, one of our guests came up with the name. If you like dill pickles but hate the afterburn of Tequila shots this will be your drink of choice! When drank correctly (no breathing inbetween shots) there is no tequilla burn AT ALL ! We have even concluded that the pickle juice negates a hangover! And this method is way neater than limes and salt and is WAY more fun to order at the bar.
Make and share this Tijuana Taxi recipe from Food.com.
Seems that every region of Mexico has a different recipe for a Michelada. We prefer the ‘limon and sal’ version, which is served on much of the baja. It’s basically a beer margarita and soooooo refreshing!
