![]() As football season approaches, tailgates and game-day get-togethers will, too. Impress your friends by whipping up cocktails made with beer for the next game. You can find different kinds of beer and spirits for your cocktails at Joe Canal’s in Lawrenceville, New Jersey, where we have a wide-ranging selection at affordable prices. Here, we share some popular beer cocktail recipes you can try. Delicious Beer Cocktail RecipesMany tailgates and game days are accompanied by beer or cocktails, but what if you combined the two? You’ll get a beer cocktail—which offers a unique twist and taste. Some of the most common beer cocktails (that are easy to make) include: Beer MargaritasIf you’re looking for a fun update to the classic margarita, look no further than a beer margarita. To make this refreshing drink, you’ll need:
Simply pour the limeade, tequila, water, and beer into a large pitcher and stir with a long spoon until the frozen limeade has completely melted. You can then add in ice, lime wedges, and extra water if it’s too sweet for your liking. MicheladasAnother common beer cocktail is a michelada, a drink that stems from Mexico. Micheladas are traditionally made with Mexican lager, such as Corona. To make one, you’ll need:
First, rim your glasses with lime and salt (if you prefer), and then add ice. Next, in a small pitcher, combine the hot sauce, Maggi seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, lime juice, and beer. Then, pour the mixture into glasses over ice and garnish with lime wedges. ShandiesA shandy is another beer cocktail that's easy to make quickly. Shandies are generally made by mixing one part beer with one part citrus-flavored soda or lemonade. These drinks have a lower alcohol by volume (ABV) than traditional cocktails, so they can be good for tailgates when you don’t want too much rowdiness. Simply mix a light lager or wheat beer with your lemonade or lemon-lime soda, mix well, and enjoy. Espresso Stout MartiniIf you want a beer cocktail that tastes like coffee, consider an espresso stout martini. You’ll need:
Combine the ice, cold espresso, and coffee liqueur in a shaker and shake until chilled. Then, carefully pour the stout on top for a unique, frothy taste. Tips for Making Beer CocktailsWhen it comes to making your beer cocktails, there are a few things to consider. First, you should make sure you bring the right beer for the cocktail you’re looking to make. If you’re planning on making Micheladas, make sure you get Mexican lagers. If you prefer shandies, a light lager or wheat beer should be on hand. Some other tips for making beer cocktails:
If you’re planning to tailgate and enjoy your beer cocktails, it’s also a good idea to bring along water, other non-alcoholic drinks, and snacks to keep you hydrated and nourished.
