The Bud Light Chelada Fuego canned beer cocktail is a spicy new option from the brand that will provide fans of the prepackaged Michelada beverage with an easy way to enjoy it. The drink gets its spicy flavor from Tapatio hot sauce in the mix, which comes courtesy of a partnership with the Mexican-American hot sauce brand. The drink features the same ABV of 4.2% compared to the original.
Senior Brand Manager at Bud Light Desiree Sanchis spoke on the new Bud Light Chelada Fuego canned beer cocktail saying, "Bud Light Chelada already has such a bold flavor loved by many, but we wanted to spice things up a bit and partner with Tapatio to give consumers the first-ever hot sauce infused Chelada. We are always pushing to innovate and provide consumers what they didn’t know they needed but always wanted.”
