TREND: The Beer Cocktail
One of our editors doesn’t care for wine: She’s strictly a beer and spirits gal.
There are many people like her. No wonder beer cocktails are on the rise. Beer has been mixed for centuries. The Black and Tan is a mix of stout plus lager or pale ale; Shandy is a mix of beer and lemonade; the Boilermaker is beer and a shot of whiskey; the Michelada is beer with lime, salt, picante sauce and sometimes, tomato juice. Now, Nation’s Restaurant News reports a trend in beer cocktails, mixing beer with absinthe, coffee, port and other mixers. The photo shows a Muddy Puddle, the signature cocktail of JoeDoe in New York City. Bourbon, iced espresso and simple syrup are shaken and poured over ice into a pilsner glass rimmed with crushed peanuts. The drink is then topped off with Sierra Nevada stout. Other recipe ideas: |
