Budweiser & Clamato: A Review

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Nigel, I'm not saying to use some sort of triple-bock for it, but more like the suggestions further upthread: Red Stripe, Tecate, maybe even a Victory Pilsner...  Just not Bud.

Waste of good beer. Like I said, the other strong flavors completely overwhelm the beer, and you really don't want a beer with a flavor strong enough to compete.

I mostly use Tecate because I like the lightly skunkier undertone, but PBR or Hamms or Budweiser work just as well.

Nigel, I am thinking this is still a regional thing.  *shrug*

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Nope.  I know a lot of uh crackahs? who drink shit beer and leave it in SPADES at my house.

Guess what my solution is? 

You guys just don't get it. 

...and THAT is ok.

I'll add lime and salt MAYBE to a watery Mexican beer, but there's ONE special treatment I like to give American domestic piss water.

I think the only way to get it is to be someone who likes cheladas.

Yeah, it's funny, it seems to be... but I know they make red beer in a lot of Eastern cities, so you would think...

Probably true.

Shitty beer left at my place?  Either serve to next batch of guests (likely the same ones who left it there in the first place), or cook with it.

...I've begun to cook with it more.  Beer can chicken being one.

I totally get the "ew" factor, btw.  TOTALLY.  Because that was ME back in the day.  I had to sneak the fuck up on it.  Plus, it's BUD.  But you know what?  If it works, it works. 

And it inspired me to make my own.    Win-win.  But I so do NOT blame those who think it's totally gross because, once upon a time, so did I!

I don't blame people who drink the shit...  More power to you, and more Guinness left in the cooler for ME.

I totally don't blame anyone for thinking it's gross. It sounds awful. 

But people who don't like cheladas telling people who do how they "should" make them is like a lifelong vegan instructing ECH on BBQ pork.

I'm sorry if you took my comments as me talling you how to make this drink.  I was only sharing how I make the drink, not telling you what to do.

I didn't... you wouldn't be a person who doesn't like cheladas, you were just sharing your recipe.

(I'm referring more to the "EWWWW THAT SOUNDS GROSS! YOU SHOULD USE BETTER BEER!" contingent. Which has been quite a few people including LMNO and Luna, who just don't know.)

Oh, no, no!  I'm not saying a damn thing about making them.  Wouldn't presume to comment on any of the drinks mentioned in this thread, other than the canned Bud version, since that's the only one I've tried.

I'm saying I'd rather buy beer that doesn't have to have that shit put in it, and drink it straight. 

[Jenne]

...welp, suffice it to say, if you think tomato juice and anything is gross, you won't like cheladas at all.  Ever.  Pretty much.  I have a sis-in-law who's like that.  She'll take the lime-n-salt version, but nix the tomato/clamato for her.  Is fine. 

Diff'rent strokes, man.

NEW ADVENTURE I'd like to try for science:

A YOGURT-y VERSION.

Because, here's the thing--minty-salty-yogurt (plain yogurt, mind you) drinks are all the rage in the Middle East.  They have two different names, depending on where you get them:  Lassi and Dough (sounds like "d'oh" but with a clearing of the throat afterward).  Indians make the lassis (usually with mango, but you can get the minty/salty plain kind too if you ask), Persians make the doughs.

So my challenge now is to figure out what would make a good liquor or whatever to add to make 'em hoocherific.  For science.

You don't like cheladas. That's fine. Lots of people don't.
