Is Beer the most unmixable beverage?
MacKenzie Strickland
It seems to me of all the beverages consumed by humankind, beer is the
most unmixable one.
Or does someone know something I don't...what would I mix it with that
would actually be enjoyable ? (I only drink the de-alchoholized beer, if
that makes any differance).
Please e-mail me direct.

Guinness has been successfully mixed with cider, and with
champagne, or so I am told. A friend once marveled over, in detail,
the wonderful taste of a drink called "Strip and Go Naked", which
involved lemonade and beer. And there's the never-ending debate over
just what constitutes a "shandy", but for sure there's beer in it.
Beer is not often mixed, but is certainly mixable.

Try mixing it with alcohol. Or, to save the trouble, buy actual beer
instead.

True enough, but beer does mix perfectly well with beer
(black and tan, or a porter from a few hundred years ago),
as well as whiskey.

and lemonade (shandy) are nice drinks. I think when English bars say
lemonade they mean Sprite.

Your choice. A shot of whiskey (probably cheap bourbon around here),
poured the lager of your choice, would be called a boilermaker.
Doesn't really do that much for me, I think the objective is simply to
sneak more alcohol in.

bartender and waitress I've seen bad things come out of this. A single
shot glass is all that's necessary. Fill three-quarters full with
amaretto, then top with 151. Ignite while sitting on the shot is sitting
on tne bar to avoid burns. Pick up the shot glass and drop the shot, glass
and all into a collins glass mostly full with beer. Slam it. Have a towel
handy. It will foam and fizz a lot. It's a great drink if you like Dr.
Pepper.

these are considered pretty normal drinks in parts of Kansas. I can't
promise they will be any good, since I haven't tried them. (I never will
try them either, but that's besides the point).
Red Beer: Add tomato juice to beer (1 can tomato juice (4-6 oz???) per
bottle of beer).
Red Eye: Same as Red Beer, but add a raw egg.
I don't think that you will spoil either one of these drinks by using
de-alcoholized beer. To those courageous (or stupid?) enough to try this:
Best of luck

Skip and Go naked is good. The recipe told to me by my father was:
1 liter vodka (or any other clear liquer)
1 6-pack of beer (preferably cheap, it really doesn't matter)
3 frozen concentrates of lemonade
1 frozen concentrate of pink lemonade
It tastes bery good.

1/2 liter beer glass, 1/2 beer, 1/2 cola, and a shot of cognac.

I really don't like beer myself. I also wonder if it is mixable. That is an
interesting question. I really don't have any answer. Sorry.

I ask again, do you mean actually mixed, or drunk together (out of

opps, sorry about that.
yes, i mean that i pour about 2 oz. of Jack Daniels (i guess you could
use another whiskey - maybe even scotch - but i love JD) into a tall beer
glass and then fill with beer. like i said before, i have only had it
with lager, but the more i think about it the more i think that it might
be very good with an ale.

I seem to remember mixing 50-50 beer with tomato juice. I drank an awful
lot of it and woke up without a hangover. Although, I was never tempted
again.

drink?

I worked with a guy who always drank his beer this way. He started to avoid
hangovers and said he just got so used to it his beer didn't taste right
without it. You should have seen the looks he got at bars asking for tomato
juice to add to his beer!

I can imagine. I tried this once, and it tasted bloody awful, but the
additional water and free-radical scavenging vitamins in the tomatoe juice
would probably go a long way to countering the dilatory effects of the
ethanol (and it's metabolic byproduct, aldehyde).

that when I lived in South Dakota, all bars stocked tomato juice and
olives, both commonly put in beer there.
Also- When I was in Germany, I tried a "cola weizen," Coke mixed with
weizenbier -- pretty good, actually -- but I'm not sure in what
proportions.

Sounds kinda like a "Radler," a half and half mix of lager and some kinda
soft drink (possibly an Almdudler-like "Kraeuterlimonade": an "herbal"
soft drink?) Not bad on a hot day.
Another mix: isn't there a drink which combines Guiness and Champagne?
And, less apetizing, I once met a guy from Estonia who put vodka in his
beer. He was crazy, though (and that isn't typical of people from Estonia).

I once knew a guy who did this, but purely to increase the alcohol
content of beer. He was crazy too.
Nobody ever answered my question: When drinking a boilermaker, how do
you keep the shot glass from smashing into your teeth?

tobasco, and worchestershire sauce, served over ice with salt around
the rim. Since many beers served in Mexico can have nasty off flavors,
it isn't as bad as you might think.

wasn't very good but when they told me to mix it with my favorite beer
50/50 it was great. Tuba is made by fermenting the sap from a young
coconut tree. If ya can ever get your hands on it give it a try...:)

Valley Region and along the Atlantic coast (Cartagena to Santa Marta)
enjoyed a drink called Rafajo (SP?). It was a mixture of orange juice
(orange soda in some places) mixed with beer. It tastes much better than
it sounds (I mix it half and half). Additionally, it's good warm (esp.
with the soda -- maybe why they drank it there, they didn't use ice that
often). It's also the best use of the leftover case of Bud from last
night's party. <G>.

You don't. It's part of the experience.

Nobody's mentioned the famous and wonderful "Blow Yer Skull Off".
The recipe, you ask? Here 'tis:
some dry stout
some rum (a little less rum than beer, and I prefer Mount Gay)
a squirt 'o lime juice
some opium (optional and illegal)
crushed cayenne pepper 'round the rim of the mug
Try a sweet stout instead of a dry one if you're feeling meek.
I use Guiness for my dry and Dragon for my sweet. Actually, although not
traditional, I find the sweet stout balances the lime juice quite nicely.
This is a real drink. They serve it at The Brickskeller in D.C. It's
reputably (at least according the Brickskeller menu) an old Austalian coal
miner's drink. Try it if you dare. It's only killed three people that I
know of, and they were all fairly weak to begin with.
