Shut up.Ĭombine the two ingredients in equal parts in a beer glass of your choice. Yes, I was too lazy to combine water, sugar, and lemon juice. I’m sure it would be even better if I hadn’t used store-bought lemonade. I was pleasantly surprised with how the lemonade blended with the beer, bringing sweet, sour, and bitter together quite effectively. So, vampires and college students, given my experiences with bottled versions of Shandies, I wasn’t expecting something good here. If you’re a vampire, that might be great news for you! However, if you don’t happen to be a mythical creature of the night who for some reason frequents my blog, maybe try this with bottled beer to help cut the metallic taste. A good part of that might be that I used beer from a can. My wife, however, thought this tasted like blood. This made me understand why someone would choose to drink a Shandy in the first place. I thought this was really good, because I’ve had pre-made Shandies out of bottles, and those aren’t very good. I have some differing opinions on this to report. Or maybe you’re just a college student at a party making bad decisions. Make it, enjoy it, but be aware that doing more than two of these might just mean you’re an alcoholic or severely depressed (or both). It’s a bit sweet if you use something like bourbon.Īnyway, I already explained how to make any version of this drink earlier, so I don’t think I need to explain it again. It depends on the whiskey you use, but the whiskey flavor adds a nice, more refined layer to the beer. As far as flavor goes, the combination works well. As a shooter-chaser combo, it’s a good way to get a buzz. So the actual experience of drinking this drink was not all that pleasant, but it ought to be judged on its own merits. Kind of a weird choice for me, because I’m not that good at chugging things, and sometimes shots of straight liquor can hit me wrong if I over-think it and briefly upset my stomach (which happened this time). Third, you can pour the whiskey into your beer without any drama and either chug it or drink it (though it’s expected that you chug it). Second, you can do it as a bomb shot where you drop the full shot glass into the beer and chug the mixture. First, you can do it as a shooter-chaser combo, where you down the whiskey and then chug the beer. There are three ways you can do this drink. Layer them if you can, but don’t worry too much if you can’t. For now, this is a beer concoction that would make a Mormon reconsider things.Ĭombine the two beers in a beer glass of your choice. I’m sure with a pale ale it would be a much different experience, but I’ll try that another day. If you use a lager, then it cuts the bitterness of the stout quite well. I appreciate it and enjoy it, but I can only do so much bitter. I really like this drink, because I’m not all that into stout. Allowing the beers to mix together creates something much more interesting than a layered drink, pretty though a layered drink may be. If you wanted to taste two beers individually, you can order two beers individually. Layering that much beer in a glass that big isn’t easy without the appropriate equipment (plus the bubbles make it hard to layer any carbonated beverage), so I opted to just let the two beers mingle. It’s often served layered, but as you can see in the picture above, it’s not necessary to layer it. This is one of the more well-known drinks on the list tonight. Combine the ingredients in a beer glass of your choosing and enjoy. In any case, this would probably be a hit at a lot of college parties. If you don’t like spicy things, you could just drink beer with vodka in it, but then people might call you an alcoholic. It’s not incredible, but it’s an interesting flavor, and it’s worth trying if you like spicy things - just don’t ruin an expensive beer with this. It ups the alcohol content of your beer with vodka, and the added spice actually works well. There’s a time and place for everything, but it’s certainly not on my burger. Sometimes I feel like the only person I’ve met who doesn’t think that hot sauce is a magical elixir that makes anything better. I’m really not a fan of adding hot sauce to stuff, especially drinks. Vodka in beer is a pretty good way to get a buzz going fast - and after last week’s disappointing Jäger-fest, who couldn’t use a good buzz? It’s probably a lot better for my pacing. I figured I’d start with the strongest drink first tonight, instead of ending with the strongest drink like last time.
