My hubby and I are huge Rick Bayless fans. We have loved him on Top Chef, Top Chef Masters and he also has a show on PBS called One Plate at a Time. We have a cookbook of his that we swear by… I was meandering around on his site and ran across this drink recipe that I thought I definitely need to try! Try it out with me!
Tecate Mojitos
3/4 cup sugar
48 large mint leaves
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 cup white rum or silver tequila
Four 12-ounce cans of Tecate beers (or other light, citrus-y tasting beer)
Ice
In a small saucepan combine the sugar and 3/4 cup water. Bring to a simmer, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Cool.
For each drink, place 6 mint leaves in the bottom of a 10 to 12 ounce glass. Add 2 tablespoons of the sugar syrup plus 1 tablespoon each of the lime juice and rum or tequila. Crush (muddle) the mint into the liquid with a muddler or the back of a spoon or fork to release its flavor. Fill the glass about 3/4 full with ice cubes. Slowly pour in half of one of the beers, stir well with a long-handled spoon and serve right away.
(makes 8 drinks)

i tried his “Limey (+/- Spicy) Beer on the Rocks” (i chose the non- spicy vers.) and it was super yummy. but then, i’m a freak for anything with lime. ;o)
@michelle My husband loves those limey/beer things…when we went to mexico a while back they called them Micheladas..and the spicy ones were called Michelada Cubano. But every time we would look up Michelada when we got home it gave us the recipe for the spicy one…
