What better way to celebrate National Michelada Day than with one in hand and the most perfect views?Clamato hosted a National Michelada Day celebratory event at the Triller House in L.A. on July 12. The event featured a customized Clamato Michelada Bar with a cocktail artist preparing drinks to order.

Guests were able to snack on fresh fruit and tacos while listening to a live mariachi band and taking in the beautiful LA views. Guests were also able to watch a “chopped” style cocktail competition between two LA restaurant owners and their mixologists – La Chuperia and MichexGod.

The Clamato Michelada is heating up the summer as one of the most popular drinks for daytime celebrations! The traditional Mexican beer cocktail combines the zesty flavors of lime, Worcestershire sauce, habanero pepper sauce, and Clamato – and can be customized with a variety of toppings and treats to make it sweet or bring the heat.

The Clamato Michelada pairs perfectly with any occasion. An authentic Michelada is made exclusively with Clamato and beer. Just add ice, lime, and a bit of chili powder for and voila – an instant yet refreshing summer favorite!
