Three Fall Beer Cocktails to Try
1. The Rattler: A Classic Twist
In a large collins glass, mix equal part Lager beer and homemade lemonade* *To make the lemonade, mix together, 1 part lemon juice, 1 part simple syrup and 6 parts sparkling water.
This classic beer cocktail is a simple yet delightful mix of equal parts lager and sparkling lemonade. Our host recommends using an Amber Lager for added malt sweetness, which balances the acidity of the lemonade beautifully. This is a perfect choice for a light and refreshing drink, ideal for a warm fall day.
2. The Zombie: Tiki Vibes with a Beer Twist
1.5 oz OR 45 ml Appleton 8
0.75 oz OR 22.5 ml Grenadine
0.5 oz OR 15 ml Lime juice
4 Dashes Absinthe
1 Dash Grapefruit hopped bitters
1 Dash Cinnamon tincture
3 oz or 90 ml Amber Lager
This cocktail takes inspiration from the classic Tiki drink "Zombie," but with a twist. The rum, absinthe, lime, cinnamon, and grenadine blend seamlessly with the amber lager, creating a complex and flavorful drink with a distinct Tiki vibe. The lager adds a touch of bitterness, replacing the grapefruit juice usually found in a classic zombie, offering a unique twist to this timeless cocktail.
3. The Fence Hopper: A Fall Favorite
1 oz OR 30 ml Bourbon or Rye
1 oz OR 30 ml Pure pressed apple juice
0.5 oz OR 15 ml Maple syrup
0.25 oz OR 7.5 ml Lemon juice
2 Dashes Angostura bitters
3 oz OR 90 ml Amber Lager
This original cocktail, created by renowned bartender Anderson, combines rye whiskey, pure pressed apple juice, maple syrup, lemon juice, and Angus bitters with a touch of amber lager. The result is a warm and comforting cocktail perfect for fall. The whiskey provides a robust flavor, while the apple juice and maple syrup add a touch of sweetness. The lemon juice adds a refreshing zing, balancing the sweetness and creating a harmonious blend of flavors.
