I figured I should share this as we don't get anything like this in the U. but it's really good. I normally don't like beer that much because it's too bitter for my taste most times, and German beer is the strongest I know. Anyway, this recipe can be made with any kind of beer but dark beer works really well. The combination sweetens up the beer a little, lowers the alcohol content even more, and gives it a unique taste, it's a little sweeter and less bitter, I guess you could call this the German version of a wine cooler. try it for your next party, even those who don't normally choose beer as their drink at a party will like it. Ingredients:
1 cup beer (or any amount you like) |
1 cup carbonated lemon-lime beverage (i use 7-up, but sprite, or even generic lemon lime works) |
ice |
1 lemon twist (garnish) (optional) |
Directions:
1. Take equal parts of beer and lemon lime soda over just a little ice to keep it chilled; be careful it will foam up a lot so take it slow. As you come to taste it, you can change how much beer or soda - if you really like beer the combination can be 3/4 beer to 1/4 soda (or vice versa if you don't like beer that much but want a taste of it). In Germany, at least where I lived in the Bavarian area in the south, this is very popular with the young people. Worth a try! :).
