Beer is a refreshing drink that is best served ice cold – especially during the summer season. Of course, there are many ways of enjoying beer and here are some refreshing beer cocktails that are worth trying.

Shandy

This is one of the most popular of all beer cocktails. All you have to do is mix your light beer of choice with some 7Up or another carbonated lemonade drink. The ratio of lemonade and beer should be 50:50.

Crown Float

This drink is a variation of the popular Black & Tan. If you love cider and beer, you will enjoy this drink. Fill half of the glass with your favourite cider and top with a darker beer like Guinness and enjoy!

Black & Tan

Fill a beer glass to the halfway mark with lager of your choice. Top with a dark beer like Guiness and serve.

Black & Black

If you have a bit of a fruity preference, you will love this variation of Black & Tan. Fill your glass halfway with blackberry juice before topping with a dark beer like Guinness. You can add a splash of vodka or even berry-flavoured vodka to the juice before topping with beer.

Snakebite

If you find cider to be too sweet, you will enjoy this drink. Add equal parts of lager and cider to a glass for a slightly fruity beer that’s not too sweet.

Black Velvet

Pour champagne into a glass and then top with Guinness. Like many other beer cocktails, the ratio should be 50:50.

Baeser

If you are recovering from a bit of a rough night, this cocktail is what you need. Start with your classic Caesar recipe and then add pale beer. Top with celery, bacon or anything else you are craving the morning after that big party.
