Anyone know the name of this beer drink?!
Answers: I had a drink when I was in Texas last year and I can not remember the name of it. Basically, you're given ice in a glass, along with a spicy red mixture. You pour the beer over the ice and spices. It reminded me of a spicy bloody mary, but with beer instead of vodka. The name was Spanish-sounding...
its a michelada
technically a michelada should only be made with lime salt and ice (beer). it has evolved to being made with bloody mary mix, lea and perrins, lime, salt, pepper, and tabasco..
Was it a Michelado?
See my source for a ehow on how to make one...
Vomito colorado.
in texes it could have been a red eye or big red
It's beer with a splash of bloody mary mix. We always called it a red eye.
Bloody bastard?

In English, it's a red eye. The direct translation to Spanish id "ojo rojo" but along the boder, I have heard it referred to as a "Michelada"
The Michelada is a popular Latin American alcoholic beverage of a genre known in Spanish as cerveza preparada (prepared beer) and in English as a variety of cocktail. There are several variations. In some cases it is similar to a Bloody Mary but containing beer instead of vodka, although a less complicated concoction of Mexican beer with sauces and lime juice added is also referred to as a Michelada. The drink dates back to the 1940s, when mixing beer with hot sauce or salsa became popular in Mexico. In recent years, the drink has begun to become popular in the United States, and now various ready-made mixes are marketed and sold to US consumers.
I have always called it a Red Eye.
