How to Prepare Sangrita or Michelada Mix

This is one of those recipes that barely feels like a recipe, which is honestly the best kind. With Casa ZG, you get bold flavor without a long ingredient list or extra steps. Whether you are prepping drinks for a weekend hangout or just making one glass for yourself, this method keeps things easy and consistent.

What You’ll Need

  • 1 packet of Casa ZG mix, 40g
  • 1 carton of orange juice
  • Beer of your choice if making a michelada

That’s it. No measuring cups, no blending, no fuss.

How to Mix the Base (Sangrita or Michalada)

Pour one full 40g packet of Casa ZG Sangrita or Michelada mix into one carton of orange juice. Give it a good stir or shake until everything is fully combined.

Once mixed, let it rest for about 5 to 10 minutes. This short wait helps the flavors fully incorporate into the juice and smooth everything out. 

At this point, your base is ready to use or store in the fridge for later.

How to Prepare a Single Michelada Drink

When you are ready to make a drink, grab your favorite beer glass. Pour about 2 to 3 ounces of the prepared michelada mix into the bottom of the glass.

Slowly add beer to fill the rest of the glass. Pouring gently helps keep the carbonation balanced and prevents too much foam. Give it a light stir if needed and you are good to go.

Adjust the amount of mix based on how bold you like the flavor.

Best Juice Options for the Best Flavor

For the freshest and cleanest taste, orange juice that is not from concentrate is the way to go. It gives the mix a brighter, more natural citrus flavor.

It is also a good idea to avoid orange juice that contains added calcium. Calcium can slightly change the texture and flavor, and the mix really shines best with simple, clean juice.

That’s all there is to it. Simple ingredients, quick prep, and consistently great flavor every time.
