Today I’m sharing a drink that I’m certain will be on your list of Superbowl must-haves.  The traditional Mexican Chelada gets Cali-fied with micro veggie kebabs and grilled asparagus.  It’s like serving appetizers and cocktails all in one bowl!

Let your guests choose their own hors d’d’oeuvres by setting up a Chelada bar of crisp green veggies and colorful skewers of edible goodness to dunk into their drink.  It’s a fun and entertaining way to liven up this classic cocktail for the big game.

Here is how you mix it up:

  • Can of Snap-E-Tom
  • Bottle of any California lager
  • Worcestershire Sauce
  • Lime
  • Salt for rim (optional)
  • Various veggies for the Chelada Bar  ( I used black and green olives stuffed with blue cheese, grape tomatoes, celery and grilled asparagus)

Use a lime around the rim of the glass (you can use any shape glass) so the salt will adhere.  Sea salt works best!

Add some ice to the glass and pour about 6 oz. of  Snap-E-Tom over the ice.  Add a few splashes of worcestershire sauce.

Pour in the beer until it reaches the top of the glass, just below the salt rim
