- Hot:
- This beer cocktail calls for any kind of hot sauce, so choose your favorite. We like Cholula and Valentina.

- Mix equal parts kosher salt and chipotle chile powder. Moisten the rim of the glass with a lime wedge, then dip in the chile salt. Mix in the michelada as directed.
- Hottest:
- Rim the glass with chile salt (see above). Muddle 1 or 2 thin slices serrano chile pepper with the lime juice in the glass, then mix in the remaining ingredients as directed.
