Chelada Beer Cocktail is a Mexican beer cocktail using lager beer and lime juice. Mexican beer cocktails called cheladas are made with lime juice and lager beer. Mexican lagers naturally have a pleasant flavour, but the zesty chelada notes elevate them to a new level. A typical Mexican cerveza preparada known as the “Chelada” is essentially a light lager mixed with lime juice and salt. There isn’t any clam juice, tomato juice, sauce, spice, clamato, or tequila used.
