- 1/3 cup freshly squeezed lime juice about 2 limes

- Run a cut lime around the rim of two large (20-ounce or larger) serving glasses.
- One at a time, invert the glasses into the seasoned salt and wiggle them around until the rims are well coated.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the tomato juice, lime juice, hot sauce, and soy sauce. Divide the mixture between the two prepared glasses. You can use this 26-ounce beer mugs from Amazon.
- Top each with 1 cup of ice.
- Remove the caps from the beer bottles. In one swift motion, invert one of the bottles into a prepared glass, pushing it down towards the bottom. Repeat with the second bottle and glass. Garnish with lime wheels and serve.

Notes
- If using a lemon-squeezer, flip the limes upside down in the bowl of the press to extract the most liquid. You may substitute Worcestershire or fish sauce for the soy sauce; start with 1 teaspoon, taste, and add more until the mix is obviously a little salty.
- Storage Info:
- Micheladas are best enjoyed fresh and are not typically suited for long-term storage. If you find yourself with leftovers, you can store the tomato juice mixture (without beer) in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
