For this month’s blog, I thought we could have a little fun! Below are 5 recipes for craft beer cocktails, to help you ride out the August heat in style.
The following recipes will make two drinks, or one super awesomely huge drink:
The Crabbie Mule
A traditional Moscow Mule with an extra kick from Crabbie’s Alcoholic Ginger Beer.
1 bottle Crabbie’s Ginger Beer
3 oz vodka
Juice of 1 lime
Stir together over ice and serve in a highball glass or copper mug. Garnish with a lime wedge
The Salty Stiegl
The Salty Dog is one of my favorite summer cocktails. If you’re not a fan of gin, you can substitute vodka.
1 can Stiegl Radler
3 oz gin
3 oz grapefruit juice
Stir together over ice and serve in a Tom Collins glass with a salted rim
The Goserita
I was at a wedding last year with a tequila bar, and a cask of Real Ale Gose. That night, the Goserita was born, and history was made!
I can Real Ale Gose
3 oz tequila
½ oz Cointreau
Juice of 1 lime
In a shaker, mix lime juice, tequila, and Cointreau. Pour over ice into margarita glasses with salted rims. Top with Real Ale Gose.
Michelada
One of the most popular beer-based cocktails out there. A fun twist on a Bloody Mary.
1 can Peacemaker
Juice from 2 limes
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp tabasco
1 tsp soy sauce
Combine all ingredients except Peacemaker in shaker. Pour over ice into salted pint glasses. Top with Peacemaker. Garnish with a celery stalk, or your favorite Bloody Mary toppers.
The Love Struck Sunrise
If a Tequila Sunrise and a Beermosa had a baby…
1 bottle of Love Struck Heffe
4 oz Lindeman’s Kriek
Orange juice
Pour Love Struck Heffe evenly between two pint glasses. Top with orange juice and float Lindeman’s Kriek on top. Omit the Kriek for another classic, the Beermosa!
