A refreshing summertime cocktail! Lager is mixed with chilled lemonade and sweetened lime juice.
3/4 cup lager beer, well chilled
3/4 cup lemonade, well chilled
3 tablespoons sweetened lime juice
lime wedge, for garnish
Combine the beer, lemonade, and lime juice in a tall glass. Garnish with the lime wedge.
This can also be served over ice, if desired.
Use a well-chilled lager for a refreshing taste.
Gently stir the ingredients to combine without losing the beer's carbonation.
Garnish with a fresh lime wedge for added flavor and a decorative touch.
Serve immediately after mixing to enjoy the fizziness of the beer.
Experiment with the ratios of beer, lemonade, and lime juice to suit your taste.
Yes, you can use different types of light beers, but a lager works best for its crisp and refreshing taste.
Homemade lemonade can offer a fresher taste, but store-bought is a convenient alternative.
Yes, you can adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of sweetened lime juice or by adding a sweetener like simple syrup.
Sweetened lime juice can be made by mixing fresh lime juice with sugar or simple syrup to taste. Rose's lime juice is a pre-sweetened lime juice mixture available at most grocery and liquor stores.
Yes, you can easily scale up the ingredients and mix them in a pitcher for serving a group. Add the lager just before serving.
Chilling the ingredients helps to make the cocktail more refreshing, especially in warm weather and eliminates the need to serve it over ice (although it is also delicious over ice).
Yes, you can add flavors like mint, basil, or ginger for a unique twist.
Serve in a tall glass with or without ice, garnished with a lime wedge.
Yes, you can use non-alcoholic beer.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

Use a good lager and lemonade (fresh squeezed is ideal) for best results. This is a really refreshing drink. If you don't have sweetened lime juice use lime juice (preferably key lime) with a splash of simple syrup. It's not quite the same but it will get you close.
