While Lounging Poolside...

    [Photo via TheKitchn] Sip this. Based on it's ingredients, the Michelada, known south of the border as the "Mexican kissing drink" might be a bit questionable. A beer cocktail with hot sauce, lime, and salt? We know, sounds scary, but don't be fooled. We found a mango version of the "beer margarita" which is sure to please while lounging poolside as long as you're willing to sip adventurously. And with no hard liquor needed for this wild concoction, you wont run the risk of passing out by the pool before your night out gets started. Ingredients and directions below...

    Ingredients: 1/2 cup mango, peeled, pitted and pureed* 2 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice 1 (12-ounce) chilled Mexican beer 1 lime Coarse salt Fresh mango for garnish Hot sauce (optional)

    Directions: 1. Combine mango puree, lime juice and beer 2. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of a tall glass and then press the rim into coarse salt, coating the rim. 3. Fill glass 2/3 full with ice and then add mango mixture. 4. Add in a few drops of hot sauce if desired.
