A lot of Mexicans like Clamato in place of tomato juice. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tubezone (talk • contribs) on 19 October 2006.

Yes, but the article needs to be written in English. -- Beardo 12:30, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Prod deleted

Every article about a cocktail has to have a description of what's in it. If you make the definition of "recipe" broad enough, nearly every cocktail article ought to be deleted, based on the fact that the cocktail articles have to contain a description of the ingredients.

The Michelada is popular and notable enough to be included in Wikipedia. It's notable enough to be in the Cocktail Project, and it's at least as popular as the Irish Car Bomb, which survived an AfD, and the Carbomb article basically IS just a recipe collection, with no background info at all.

Except it isn't acyually a cocktail as defined in the project. -- Beardo 08:56, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

To list and categorized all alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktail drinks, where they came from, what they are made of,etc. Looks like Michelada is included by that standard. Tubezone 09:44, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

"A cocktail is a distilled beverage mixed with another drink other than water. As such, beer mixes, shandies, and distilled beverages diluted with water are not considered to be cocktails. A spritzer is not usually considered to be a cocktail. Sangría is not a cocktail. It might be worthwhile going through all the cocktails and re-categorising those which do not belong in the cocktail category." - Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Cocktails -- Beardo 12:34, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Origin of the name

the Michelada cocktail is often related as a mexican drink, but the name is american, "Michelada" is taken of a recipe that included "Michelob" Beer in the 80's —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Manonegraweb (talk • contribs) 21:59, 6 February 2007 (UTC).
