Chavela
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chavela is a Cerveza preparada that is popular in Mexican restaurants as both a drink (and as an appetizer if served with a garnish). It is made with tomato, V8, or Clamato juice mixed with beer, and seasoned with Hot Sauce (i.e., Tabasco, Tapatio, Bufalo, etc.). It is served in a ice-cold salt-rimmed mug and garnished with crudite (carrot and celery sticks) and/or shrimp.
