Clamato[edit]

"Optionally, tomato juice mainly Clamato drink as mexicans prefer it"

- huh ?? -- Beardo 03:42, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A lot of Mexicans like Clamato in place of tomato juice. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tubezone (talk • contribs) on 19 October 2006

Yes, but the article needs to be written in English. -- Beardo 12:30, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Prod deleted[edit]

Every article about a cocktail has to have a description of what's in it. If you make the definition of "recipe" broad enough, nearly every cocktail article ought to be deleted, based on the fact that the cocktail articles have to contain a description of the ingredients.

The Michelada is popular and notable enough to be included in Wikipedia. It's notable enough to be in the Cocktail Project, and it's at least as popular as the Irish Car Bomb, which survived an AfD, and the Carbomb article basically IS just a recipe collection, with no background info at all. Tubezone 04:51, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Except it isn't acyually a cocktail as defined in the project. -- Beardo 08:56, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

To list and categorized all alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktail drinks, where they came from, what they are made of,etc. Looks like Michelada is included by that standard. Tubezone 09:44, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"A cocktail is a distilled beverage mixed with another drink other than water. As such, beer mixes, shandies, and distilled beverages diluted with water are not considered to be cocktails. A spritzer is not usually considered to be a cocktail. Sangría is not a cocktail. It might be worthwhile going through all the cocktails and re-categorising those which do not belong in the cocktail category." - Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Cocktails -- Beardo 12:34, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This is just a terrible article. The recipes and a lot of the speculation and chitchat need to be deleted. Languagehat (talk) 01:41, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This article should be part of the Cerveza Preparada article, as are the other variations of the drink. As it stands, this article exists as an advertisement for Miller Brewing Company, as the Michelada is a chelada made with Miller Beer (explained below). If kept, the article needs to be revised for fairness, which would include removing brand names and including descriptions of cultural variants such as Radler Bier. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.182.169.134 (talk) 23:13, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Origin of the name[edit]

the Michelada cocktail is often related as a mexican drink, but the name is american, "Michelada" is taken of a recipe that included "Michelob" Beer in the 80's —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Manonegraweb (talk • contribs) 21:59, 6 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Some issues[edit]

The central Mexico section seems to comprise a huge amount of original research and this section should be removed if it can't be cited. It also goes against WP:NOT#GUIDE; there should be an external link to wikisource and the recipes should appear there. Also, the rest of the article is uncited as well; external sourcing should be a problem, but it needs to be done.--Isotope23 14:40, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merged Chelada[edit]

I merged in some info from the now-redirected "Chelada" article. It was very poorly-written and mostly redundant (and possibly infected with sock puppets). Web research showed that the terms "Chelada" and "Michelada" are just too similar to warrant separate WP articles. --JD79 12:40, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV[edit]

I changed an opinionated sentence attributing the origin to "Mi Chelada" to something more neutral. Until a credible source on the origin can be cited (which may well never happen) the article can't take a position. Jorkusmalorkus (talk) 21:25, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This article states that Bud Light Lime is a product with clamato in it. I think this is wrong. There is a separate Budweiser product that is called a chelada with clamato in it, while Bud Light Lime only has lime flavoring added. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.219.144.26 (talk) 20:59, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Recipe[edit]

I don't understand this recipe. The article talks about the importance of ice in the beverage, yet the recipe contains no ice. The cocktail mortise-board on the top right says it is to be served in a pub glass, which is said to be between 16 and 20 ounces; my question is how can 24+ ounces of liquid fit into a glass with a maximum capacity of 20 ounces? Perhaps the recommended serving vessel should just be a bucket. If I am not making any sense, just try following the recipe and you quickly realize how poorly thought out it is. Sixister (talk) 23:19, 9 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

there are many many error in this recipe, first of all, in Mexico we never under any circumstances add ice cubes to beer, NEVER, and micheladas are always served in beer jars, the trick is that for micheladas the jar is left in the fridge till it freezes.

Cleanup[edit]

Did some minor cleanup of grammar in this article. Still needs verifiable sources and is still extremely chit chatty. Recipes section is not needed for a WP article beyond possibly- the basic recipe.76.28.196.130 (talk) 22:38, 19 November 2009 (UAC)

Actually ther is Ice in a michelada, you may make it different but do some research before writting non-sence

Verifying[edit]

---Revamping article to include info from verifiable sources only. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.28.196.130 (talk) 22:42, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
