[edit] Clamato
"Optionally, tomato juice mainly Clamato drink as mexicans prefer it"

- A lot of Mexicans like Clamato in place of tomato juice. —Preceding unsigned comment 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).
[edit] Some issues
The central Mexico section seems to comprise a huge amount of original research and this section should be removed if it can't be cited. It also goes against WP:NOT#GUIDE; there should be an external link to wikisource and the recipes should appear there. Also, the rest of the article is uncited as well; external sourcing should be a problem, but it needs to be done.--Isotope23 14:40, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Merged Chelada
I merged in some info from the now-redirected "Chelada" article. It was very poorly-written and mostly redundant (and possibly infected with sock puppets). Web research showed that the terms "Chelada" and "Michelada" are just too similar to warrant separate WP articles. --JD79 12:40, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] NPOV
I changed an opinionated sentence attributing the origin to "Mi Chelada" to something more neutral. Until a credible source on the origin can be cited (which may well never happen) the article can't take a position. Jorkusmalorkus (talk) 21:25, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
This article states that Bud Light Lime is a product with clamato in it. I think this is wrong. There is a separate Budweiser product that is called a chelada with clamato in it, while Bud Light Lime only has lime flavoring added. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.219.144.26 (talk) 20:59, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
