Our expert bartenders at Signature Lounge, Residences Sky Bar, and Chictini by Pinnacle are masters at creating delicious cocktails. However, there is one traditional Mexican cocktail that you should really try while enjoying your Puerto Vallarta vacation in the Romantic Zone. The Michelada, a drink not made with liquor but does come with a kick of alcohol.
A Michelada is made with beer as the base and can be tailored to different tastes using light or dark beer (though dark beer is more common). Essential ingredients include lime juice, a hint of chile, and seasoned salt. Beyond that, a Michelada can be customized based on your preference or the specialty of the establishment. Some bartenders incorporate tomato juice, while others opt for Clamato. Additional touches may include a splash of Tabasco sauce, Worcestershire sauce, or even teriyaki sauce. A garnish of celery, cucumber, or lime wedge is typical, and beach bars may go as far as serving a large shrimp on the side of the glass – or skewering several shrimp, turning your Michelada into more of a meal than a drink.
Visit any of our three Pinnacle Resorts cocktail lounges in the Romantic Zone and ask one of our friendly bartenders to prepare their special version of a Michelada for you. You can even visit all three – Signature Lounge, Sky Bar, and Chictini – for a Michelada tasting to discover your favorite rendition, as each bartender has their unique recipe. Micheladas are a wonderfully refreshing tropical beverage, and with your luxury Romantic Zone vacation rental just steps away, you can indulge in a few without worry. We look forward to seeing you at our famous Happy Hour!
