Tips and Ticks For Chamoy Michelada
For more of a spicy kick, which many in Mexico look for in their Micheladas, you can add hot sauce to this recipe.  Ideally, you'll choose one that's reddish to compliment that tomato of the Clamato. Perhaps the most common brand that people prefer to rely on for this is Tabasco sauce. Just keep in mind that it is pretty heavy on the vinegar. So make sure not to put too much of brands like this one in.
The chile powder that many people like to use is chamoy as it is quite sweet. Another popular one is piquin which is a pretty easy-going chile that's quite refreshing and salad-like in terms of its taste. People use it in many hot sauces that you'll regularly find atop the tables of Mexican restaurants.
