The Pick Six Pickle Michelada is a bold, briny game-day beer cocktail designed for fans who crave savory flavor. Pickle brine leads the profile, layered with spice and citrus from LAVA Michelada Mix and brightened with LAVA Key Lime Juice. Crisp lager keeps it refreshing while the salty, tangy finish makes it the ultimate sip for tailgates and Super Bowl watch parties.
