Cerveza preparada (Spanish pronunciation: [serˈβesa pɾepaˈɾaða], prepared beer) is a Mexican term for beer mixed with tomato juice, hot sauce, or salsa. In English-speaking countries, it would be considered a variety of shandy.
The drink dates back to the 1940s, when it became popular in Mexico.
The basic recipe is tomato juice (sometimes Clamato or V8 Vegetable Juice) mixed with beer and the juice of half a lime in an ice-cold, salt-rimmed pint glass. The beer is added by pouring it from high above the glass so that the contents will mix properly.

A chavela is a cerveza preparada that is popular in Mexican restaurants both as a drink and as an appetizer if it is served with a garnish. It is made with tomato juice, Clamato, or V8 Vegetable Juice mixed with beer and seasoned with hot sauce (e.g., Tabasco, Tapatio, or Búfalo). It is served on the rocks in an ice-cold, salt-rimmed mug and garnished with crudités (carrot and celery sticks) or shrimp.
Fill a beer mug with ice. Coat the rim with a mixture of salt and chili powder. Pour in one part Clamato and the juice of half a lime or lemon. Add three parts Mexican beer and hot sauce to taste.
