Beer cocktails? Yes Yes – it’s a thing. Here are 8 you could treat yourself to
“Well, I drink my HERBS, TRIPLE HOPS STRONG BEER DARK, only at room temperature!” …
… Bet such statements are on the way in the comment column? Sure – a cold beer is and remains incredibly refreshing. But that’s not what this is about. This is about the amazing idiosyncrasy of different culinary traditions (okay, let’s face it: most of these drinks come from Mexico) where beer is used to make cocktails and drinks. And the fact that some of these are great if you’re open to new things.
Let’s go, so – not least to postpone the end of summer a bit, at least in mind: Here are 8 beer cocktails you should treat yourself to!
The classic: as it is drunk in native Mexico, in the US Southwest and now pretty much all over Central America! There are two basic variants: one with and one without clamatothe tomato juice enriched with mussel broth and herbs.
if necessary 6 cl clamato or tomato juice or V8 (or similar vegetable juice)
1 bottle of Mexican beer
3 cl lime juice
2 shots Worcestershire sauce
2 shots of hot chili sauce
2 shots Maggi Sauce (or soy sauce)
1 lime, for garnish
All quantities are approximate, ultimately it is up to your own taste to decide. Not in the mood for vegetable juice? Only the clamato omit!
In a way, the Michelada is the Mexican answer to the Bloody Mary. Here a version with a slightly smoky taste thanks to the addition of mezcal.
2cl mezcal
2 cl lime juice
1 cl agave syrup
5 shots of cholula hot sauce
5 shots Maggi (or soy sauce)
2 shots Worcestershire sauce
1 bottle of Modelo Especial Lager (or other Mexican beer)
1 lime, for garnish
All other ingredients except for the beer (!) Pour into a cocktail shaker filled with ice cubes, shake vigorously and strain into the pint glass. Carefully top up with beer. Garnish with a slice of lemon.
What could be more refreshing than a margarita? One that’s spiced up with a Mexican lager for the ultimate drink mashup!
6cl tequila
2cl Cointreau
3 cl lime juice
Mexican beer
Lime for garnish
Pour the tequila, Cointreau and lime juice into a cocktail shaker filled with ice cubes, shake vigorously and strain into the beer glass. Carefully top up with beer. Garnish with a lemon wedge.
Exactly: Corona + Margarita. Also Mexican car accident cocktail or Mexican bulldog cocktail mentioned, this drink may seem a little messy at first glance. But in reality, it is absolutely the perfect long drink for the summer.
1.5 cl Triple Sec (Grand Marnier or similar)
3 cl freshly squeezed lemon juice
3 cl freshly squeezed lime juice
3 cl sugar syrup
1 ice cold 210 ml bottle of Mexican beer
1 large beer glass (pint glass or similar)
1 straw
1 lemon wedge for garnish
Wet the rim of a sturdy beer glass with a wedge of lime and add some salt (actually optional, because ideally you drink the drink through a straw).
Fill the glass halfway with ice cubes. Strain the contents of the cocktail shaker into the glass. Open the beer bottle and place it upside down in the glass without emptying it. Garnish with a lemon wedge.
Gin and grapefruit are a classic combination: together they form the long drink Greyhound. The last one with a salt rim is called a Salty Dog. Now if you replace the grapefruit juice with grapefruit wheat beer, you get this refreshing drink:
6 cl gin or vodka
Schöfferhofer Grapefruit-Hefeweizen
A twist on the classic Paloma long drink! (Austrian Radler is recommended, although Swiss variants are also welcome, of course.)
2 cl grapefruit juice
1.5 cl lime juice
1.5 cl sugar syrup
Stiegl Radler (or similar panaché)
Grapefruit twist for garnish
Now we say goodbye to Mexico and cross the border north to the US, where the next drink is often drunk. Wherein… drinking? Or is it more of a joke? Anyway, it’s fun.
Beer
And when summer has finally said goodbye, you might be craving this cocktail classic, also featured in Ian Fleming’s James Bond novels. Something autumnal, even wintery. And something festive:
Champagne
