The whole 'chelada'
Submitted by bniolet on 2009-05-21 13:20It's time for some frank chelada talk.
Rep. Cary Allred has consistently said he was not intoxicated the night of April 27 when he was stopped for driving 102 miles an hour and was seen hugging and possibly kissing a teenaged girl in the House chamber.
What he has said from the start is that he had one chelada, a cocktail he describes as similar to a Bloody Mary made with beer. In a written statement to a House investigator, Allred said the drink was a mixture of tomato juice, clam juice, salt, lime and beer.
That recipe has prompted some facial expressions and conversations around the legislature.
So here's the story.
The name "Chelada" is a shortened form of the Spanish word michelada which loosely translates to "my cold beer," according to a January 2008 news release from Anheuser-Busch announcing that their canned Chelada was going nation-wide.
Reviews, pro and con, of the drink after the jump.
