Beer has been a popular choice for many events. Sometimes, however, one glass of beer won't suffice to satisfy your thirst.
Drink beer can be a great way for you to diversify your bartending menu. They are simple to prepare and offer a wide range of flavors that will please all tastes.
Brewsky Sangria
This beer cocktail is great for refreshing summer drinks. It's made with a mix of lemon juice, pear puree and triple sec.
Michelada
A simple Michelada can be made with Modelo Especial or Corona Mexican beers. To make a frosty cocktail, combine the beer with Cointreau, Tequila, and lime juice.
Shandy
Pilsners and lagers are good for adding body to cocktails. This softer characteristic can allow other ingredients to take center stage and add a bit of zing to the taste.
Blueberry Sour Ale Vodka Beertini
Try sour ales, sour IPAs or other innovative beers to create new cocktails. These beers are typically more bitter than their pale counterparts. They can be used in combination with many different spirits like pisco and mezcal.
There are many ways to use stouts in beer cocktails. This is especially true for recipes that contain bourbon and liqueurs. They can be a good complement to strong spirits like aged rum, brandy, or amaro.
Boilermaker
Beer juleps are a traditional whiskey-beer combination, but you can make this drink with any beer. IPAs work well. The beer adds a flavor and spiciness to the drink that isn’t present in the traditional mint julep.
A shot of liquor can give the drink a little more spice and complexity. It's worth trying different versions of this classic. This is a solid choice for any social gathering when you want to enjoy the full flavors of both alcohols but don't need the added sweetness of a mixed drink.
Garnishes
A garnish can make a beer cocktail more enjoyable. For enhancing the flavor of beer, you can use a hops salt or fresh grapefruit rim.
You should choose a beer that is appropriate for the recipe you are working on. You don't want to choose a beer that is too strong for the rest of the ingredients. This is especially true if you are blending different beer styles. You need to consider which style will balance and shine.

How To
How to make a delicious martini
A martini is made with gin, vermouth, and ice. The ingredients must be mixed together properly before serving. It is usually served in a chilled glass. You should serve a proper martini straight up without adding anything. If you mix it, then you ruin the taste.
Two olives are the most popular way to serve a martini. If you wish to add more flavor to your drink, you can put olive brine around the rim.
You can use any type of alcohol, but it's best to use 100% grain alcohol like Vodka or Gin. This gives the cocktail a smoother texture. There are many types of vermouths available. We recommend that you choose one with no added sugar. Sugar can make cocktails too sweet.
To start making a martini, pour 2 ounces of dry vermouth into a shaker filled with ice. Add 1 ounce vodka. Shake vigorously until well combined. Pour into a chilled martini glass and garnish with an olive.
The same steps are required to make a martini in a shaker. You don't need to shake the mixture much, just enough to combine the ingredients.
