Beer cocktails for St. Pat’s
Looking for some drinks to mix tonight to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day? YumSugar.com has recipes for 5 beer cocktails. There’s the Michelada, a Mexican cocktail (which could serve as a Cinco de Mayo drink too); the Clara, a combination of light beer and lemon soda; the Black Velvet, made with stout and sparkling wine; the Liverpool Kiss, a berry-flavored cocktail made with stout and Creme de Cassis; and the Broadway, a Japanese favorite which is one part Coke and one part beer.
I’d like to add a couple of variations to the Black Velvet recipe. One of our local bars here prefers to mix pear cider with the stout, rather than sparkling wine. They also have a “Blue Velvet,” which is a Black Velvet topped with port.
Be careful out there celebrating tonight! One of our pocket breathalyzers can help keep you safe.
