Chelada
Think of a chelada, a lime-doused beer in a salt-rimmed glass, as a michelada, laid bare. Because the beer is center stage, it’s perfectly acceptable to be particular (we happen to prefer ours with Victoria or Modelo). And since our drink has been stripped of its fiery components, we lent all the heat to crunchy jicama wands. Together, they are a match made in summer-snacking heaven.

Run a piece of lime around the edge of a large cold glass, then dip rim in salt. Add ice and lime juice to glass, and top with beer.
