“This is not a candy,” reads Tajín’s safety seal in a pixilated liar’s scrawl. The addictive seasoning is not merely a candy, it’s the only one able to elevate an inoffensive but unsatisfying pilsner from nay to yea. Maybe don’t eat a Snickers’ weight of it, but the star ingredient is a close cousin to Lucas chili mix (a candy!) and lends a mouth-watering kick to micheladas. They are medicine, and should be your first stop at Broadacres.
1. Queue up at a beer shed (you’ll know it by its fan club).
2. Weigh your options: Corona Light, Victoria, Pacifico, Modelo Especial or Miller Lite.
3. Order a large for $7.50. Smaller sizes exist; we’re not sure why. Specify “with chili and lime,” which includes lime, hot sauce and a Tajín rim. For more tomato and less tang, add Clamato for $2.50.
4. Give thanks for the elixir you are about to imbibe.
5. Chug!
6. Repeat.
