Refreshing Beer Cocktails to Serve at Your Summer Barbecue
Summer is here, and there’s no better way to enjoy it than hosting a barbecue party with friends and family. And what better way to quench your thirst than serving up some refreshing beer cocktails?
If you’re thinking beer and cocktails don’t mix, we’re about to turn that notion on its head with our list of tantalizing beer cocktails that’ll have your guests coming back for more.
Ginger Shandy
The Ginger Shandy is the perfect mix of ginger ale and beer that’ll keep your guests refreshed all afternoon. Simply pour three-quarters of a glass with your favorite lager or pilsner and top it off with ginger ale. Add a squeeze of fresh lime juice and a sprig of mint for an extra refreshing kick.
Beer Margarita
If you love margaritas, you’ll love this beer-twist on the classic Mexican cocktail. Mix tequila, lime juice, triple sec, and beer, and serve it up in a glass with a salted rim. It’s a perfect balance of sweet, tangy, salty, and boozy, and the beer adds a crisp freshness to the mix.
Watermelon Beer Cooler
Watermelon and beer might sound like an odd combination, but trust us on this one – it works wonders. Blend fresh watermelon and strain it to remove any chunks. Mix the watermelon juice with beer and a splash of vodka if you want an extra kick. You can also add some mint leaves for added sweetness and freshness.
Blackberry Lemonade Shandy
Blackberry and lemonade make the perfect combination for a sweet, refreshing summer cocktail. Mix your favorite lager with blackberry and lemonade syrup and serve it over ice. You can also add fresh blackberries to the mix for a deliciously fruity garnish.
Radler
If you’re looking for a low-alcohol option that’s still tasty and refreshing, look no further than Radler. Radler is a popular German beverage that combines beer and citrus soda, typically lemonade or grapefruit soda. The result is a slightly sweet, tangy, and effervescent drink that’s perfect for a hot summer day.
With these refreshing beer cocktails, you’ll have the perfect drinks to serve at your summer barbecue. So, invite your friends, fire up the grill, and enjoy a summer day filled with delicious food, great company, and fantastic drinks.
