From the Non-Alcoholic Cocktails list at Sparrow, the NA Michelada is our zero-proof spin on Mexico’s savory, spicy beer cocktail ($13). It is the brunch-and-patio drink for anyone who loves a Michelada but is skipping the alcohol, and it is built with the same craft attention we bring to everything behind the bar in Kirkland’s Juanita neighborhood.
About NA Michelada
The Michelada is a classic Mexican beer cocktail, traditionally a savory, tangy mix of beer, lime, and a spiced, salty seasoning blend served in a chili-rimmed glass. Our non-alcoholic version keeps all of the character and drops the alcohol, leaning on bright lime and a savory, spicy edge for a glass that is genuinely cool to order, no apologies. It is a natural fit for our weekend brunch (10 AM to 2 PM) and for slow afternoons out on the four-season, dog-friendly patio. The designated driver, the pregnant guest, and the sober-curious all get the full ritual: the rim, the spice, the cold refreshment.
Tasting Notes
Savory, tangy, and lively, with a salty, spiced rim, a squeeze of lime, and a refreshing chill. It is the bracing, eye-opening flavor of a Michelada, fully zero proof.
What to Pair It With
A Michelada is made for big, savory flavors. From the Sparrow menu, pair it with the Chilaquiles at brunch, the Lamb Quesa-Birria Tacos, or a plate of Fresh Oysters. It is also a great way for the designated driver to join the party.
