ABOUT THE LIVING LIFE IN COSTA RICA BLOG

I (Vicki Skinner - aka "THE Sarong Goddess") created this blog in 2007 to share DETAILED Finds•Lists•Info•Events•Experiences to help bring more EASE to people living in, visiting or thinking of moving to Costa Rica since DETAILS are NOT easy to find!
I’m NOT an expert (an "expert" 2 ME knows 101%-NOT me). I believe in sharin info•helping where I can! And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise. At least you have some basic info to get you started.
VOLUNTEER TO HELP:
Better yet - do you have extra time on your hands & looking for a volunteer project? Since this blog is a labor of love & RARELY does anyone share a donation (even though MANY have said how much it's helped them), I could REALLY use help updating info. Spanish speakers ESPECIALLY welcome since my VicLish can be somewhat limited at times!!

Refreshing BEER DRINKS in Costa Rica & Nicaragua - MICHELADA


What's YOUR FAVORITE thing to drink in Costa Rica or Nicaragua??

I'm not much of a drinker (MEGA lightweight•cheap date) - especially beer -
but there's something about the hot weather that goes with beer & a
MICHELADA is REFRESHING!!!

In Costa Rica I like a Costa Rican style "MICHELADA"
Beer•Cerveza (of your choice)
Lime Juice (I prefer fresh squeezed)
Over ice - in a salt-rimmed glass.


In Nicaragua (actually I drink this also in Costa Rica usually also) - the FIRST thing I do when I arrive in Nicaragua is find me a iced cold
"NICA MICHELADA"
Beer•Cerveza
(of your choice.  I prefer Victoria because it's a bit stronger - more bitter)
Lime or Lemon Juice
(I prefer fresh squeezed)
Salsa Lizano
Over ice - in a salt-rimmed glass.

Kinda like the concept of a Beer Bloody Mary (without the vodka & tomato juice).


IF you REALLY want to try one of these tasty drinks & the bartender seems clueless - if they have a kitchen - chances are good they have Salsa Lizano so just ask for the ingredients separately.

WHAT'S UP WITH ICE IN BEER???

Ah - speaking of ICE - don't be surprised if your beer in hot destinations in Latin America either comes ON the rocks/with ice - or with a small bucket of ice left on the table since drinks loose it's chill FAST in the heat!!

Heck - RED WINE in Costa Rica is often even chilled!!
