how to serve Pineapple Michelada

Serve your Pineapple Michelada cold. It’s best enjoyed right after making it, so the beer stays fizzy. You can serve it in any glass, but a tall, chilled glass looks great. Enjoy it with friends or during a sunny day on the patio!

how to store Pineapple Michelada

It’s best to drink a Pineapple Michelada right after making it, as the beer can lose its fizz. If you have leftover mix (without the beer), you can store it in the fridge for a day. Just remember to make a new drink when you’re ready, as the mix and beer should be combined fresh.

tips to make Pineapple Michelada
