Mango Beer Chelada

As summer arrives it brings with it the desire to spend time outdoors with friends and family. It’s a time for turning any weekend or weekday evening or afternoon into a fun and carefree cookout or BBQ. Having lived most of my life in Guatemala, cheladas, made with an ice cold Corona Extra are always a part of those summer everyday celebrations. Sipping a tangy, spicy and refreshing chelada, the most popular beer cocktail in my country, always transport me to a special place. In my home cheladas have to be made with cerveza Corona Extra, it’s part of the chelada tradition and it wouldn’t be a chelada without Corona.

As I prepared to take a break from the craziness that usually takes over my weekends and take some time for myself to enjoy with my husband I decided to make a special chelada recipe and accompany it with some beer braised carnita tacos, my favorites! My inlaws have a mango tree in their backyard and mango with lime is also a summer staple and sort of a summer tradition so I thought it would be fun to combine my favorite summer “adult” drink with my favorite summer childhood snack to create a mango chelada. And while I was at it why add some mango to my beer braised carnitas too!

As I took the first sip of my new creation, the bubbly smooth cerveza blending with the sour lime with a hint of sweetness from the mango suddenly my hectic day just slipped away and I found my happy place. This is what summer is all about: celebrating every summer day with a cervecita (or cheladita) and some fantastic tacos! No matter how busy you are you need to make time to celebrate and relax and create great summer moments and memories. Don’t wait for a special occasion but enjoy every summer day. Hay que saber vivir!

  6. This mango beer chelada looks good! I love mangoes and it would be interesting to have it with beer. What is even more interesting is to use it to cook pork for taco filling. I’m trying this recipe.
