9 beer cocktails you need to try ASAP
By Matt Sidney
El Chapo - For those who enjoy fruity flavors, this cocktail combines Fords gin with strawberry-infused Aperol, topped off with a grapefruit beer. It’s a beautiful, refreshing drink with a lovely red hue
Sour Shandy - This creative take on the traditional shandy uses a clear spirit of your choice mixed with citrus juice and sour beer syrup, topped with lager. It’s a tangy, refreshing cocktail that offers a more complex flavor profile
Bitter Lemon Spritz - This cocktail offers a delightful twist on the traditional spritz by incorporating beer. The combination of lemon, amaro, and a bubbly beer creates a playful and bittersweet flavor profile, reminiscent of classic Italian aperitivos but with a refreshing beer twist.
Blackberry-Chipotle Michelada - For a cocktail with a bit more edge, the Blackberry-Chipotle Michelada blends tangy blackberries with the smoky heat of chipotle, offset by the carbonated lift of beer. This is a vibrant option that adds a fruity and spicy kick to the traditional michelada.
Yuzu Shandy - The Yuzu Shandy is a refreshing variation of the traditional shandy, using the unique tartness of yuzu juice complemented by freshly squeezed lemon juice. Paired with a light, American-style lager and Italian-style sparkling lemonade, this drink is perfect for summer gatherings, offering a complex citrus flavor enhanced by the beer’s savory notes.
