While researching beer recipes for Léger’s still life I discovered a little gem that combines two of my favorite drinks in a way that caused me to smack my forehead and yelp ‘Egad!’ I have a fondness for dark beer and Bloody Marys which happen to be the two central components of a Michelada. Think of the dark beer as a replacement for the tomato juice and vodka which creates a rich caramel drink with a hint of spice and lovely sour note. To me this spicy drink is the perfect paring for the bright colours and bold shapes in Léger’s painting.
