As a Peace Corps volunteer in Senegal, West Africa, I am pretty sure that I was served this delightfully refreshing and visually stimulating drink. There I think the flower was called "bisop".

The previous review does not apply to this beer drink, but to Agua de Jamaica. Sorry, don't know what goofed up between me and my computer.

Salt and beer are my favorite foods, for sure.

We had a very rough "morning after the night before" Excellence Resort in Cancun. Being Canadian, we thought we'd shoot for the Caeser - but the bartender made us Micheladas and we are hooked. This is the best hangover cure ever!!!
