Best Michelada Bombs
Drop these michelada bombs into a cerveza and watch as it turns into a spicy, savory, and refreshing michelada in seconds!
Equipment
- Mixing bowl
Ingredients
- ¾ cup chile-lime seasoning ($0.20)
- 2 tablespoons food-grade citric acid ($0.10)
- 1 tablespoon baking soda ($0.02)
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce ($0.16)
- 1-3 teaspoons chamoy sauce ($0.02)
- 1-3 teaspoons Valentina hot sauce ($0.03)
- 12 Pulparindots ($0.10)
For serving
- 6 Cervezas (Modelo, Sol, Pacifico, etc.)
- Lime wedges
- Salt
Instructions
- Combine the chile-lime seasoning, citric acid, and baking soda in a mixing bowl. Add the vegan Worcestershire (or soy sauce), 1 teaspoon chamoy, and 1 teaspoon hot sauce.
- Start pressing the mixture together with a spatula or your hands. To check the consistency, pinch the mixture with your finger or palm and it should stick together fairly well. If it falls apart, add more sauce and check again.
- Once it’s ready, transfer the mixture to a dome-shaped silicone mold or measuring spoon (½ or 1 tablespoon). Press down quite firmly to properly shape the miche bombs. Cover and freeze overnight or for at least 1-2 hours.
- Note: If you are using Pulparindots, add ½ the mixture into the mold. Press it down firmly, then add a candy. Add the rest of the mixture in and press again.
- To serve, rim your glass with lime and salt, chamoy and Tajin, or chamoy rim dip. Pour in a beer and drop one michelada bomb in. Happy drinking!

Notes
- Keep the mixture dry. You don't want the mix to be too wet. Otherwise, the citric acid won't fizz.
- Store in your freezer. If you keep the michelada bombs at room temperature or even in your fridge, they will fall apart (and also not fizz well).
- Press firmly. We can't stress this enough! You have to press quite hard to properly shape the miche bombs and ensure they don't fall apart.
- Start slow. Don't add in all of the hot sauce and chamoy right away. You want the mixture to be on the dry side but still able to stick together.
