Food Challenge: Budweiser x Clamato
In the world of fashion and music, the mash-up/collaboration has been all the rage for the past few years. Reebok shoes mixed with Monopoly or Elton John vs. Jay Z. They are everywhere. They don’t always improve upon a product but in some cases magic happens and the public is presented with a new item to change the landscape of consumerism.
Behold, the Chelada is such magic. Simplifying the age old combo of beer and tomato juice into a one stop, time saving combo. I’ve spent years of my life waiting for this. Usually I’m deterred by the extra effort it takes in making this drink so I just settle for the beer, or sometimes the tomato juice. Sometimes when you make that quick run to QT they don’t always have cold Clamato, putting on a cramp on my late night drinking. But alas, the problem has been solved. Convenience has won out. I can now drink my Clamato and Bud with ease. Oh thank you America.
Now if only I liked to drink Budweiser. Someone get on that.

I guess the “beer with lime in it” trend eventually lead to this? Hehe.
I like cheladas, does the Bud/Clamato version have any hint of spiciness? A traditional Mexican chelada typically has a dash of hot sauce and I love the extra sting.
It has a small hint of spice but nothing comparable to what you would expect from an official ‘Chelada’ or ‘Michelada’ that you would get at a proper Mexican bar.
I’m with you on the sting.
For me, I think I would need the extra sting. Just doctor it up with a dash of Tabasco and possibly Worcestershire, and see what you get!!!
I have never had a proper Chelada. Although, I’ve heard it’s a good hangover remedy. I guess I better take on this challenge. Sounds like one I can handle!
I think I’ve gotta sit this one out. The only thing I like tomato juice in is a bloody mary.
i love cheladas… well, at least the ones that don’t come in a can
the spicier the better!!!
They make another version, but with freaking CLAM juice….. No I did not try it, just saw it at a bbq.
I have been meaning to make a chelada – now I’m going to give this a try. I am game for anything at least once.
