No seasonal menu would be complete without our “Runaway Godfather”, Anders Erickson. And, as per our tradition of this past year, we are featuring an Original Creation from his YouTube Channel. This one is a BEER COCKTAIL, and even you don’t love beer, you’re gonna want to check this one out.
The original recipe calls for roughly 2 oz of liquor and 4 oz of beer. But I found that I liked more of an equal parts approach (2 oz liquor to 2 oz beer), as I am not the beer lover I once was these days. I recommend starting with my 1:1 approach and add more beer until you are satisfied! This drink is pretty spectacular at whatever level of beer you land upon, so find some sugar free tart cherry juice (not hard to find) and get to mixin’!!
Cheers!
