GHF-wordpress Beer, Recipes , , , 0 Comment

Sounds funny, but this beverage is so refreshing and thirst-quenching! Just what you all need to sip on while you’re rooting for your favourite team!

This is the perfect cocktail for fancy beer drinking. Start with a little rum, add some fresh citrus juices and simple syrup.  Then top it all off with ice cold beer. Stick a straw in it and you are good to go!
Try this cocktail with lemon juice and also with lime juice. Both are very good — the lime is a bit sweeter.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 Ounce rum
  • 1 lemon, juiced (lime is really delicious also)
  • 1 orange, juiced
  • 1 Ounce simple syrup (it’s easy – directions follow)
  • 4 Ounces beer
  • ice

INSTRUCTIONS

Fill a 16 ounce glass with ice
Add rum, simple syrup*, lemon and orange juices
Top with beer

To make simple syrup, heat equal parts sugar and water in saucepan over medium high heat. Whisk until sugar has dissolved. Continue cooking for a couple more minutes. Cool. Store in covered container in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

This easy moscato sangria is so easy to make with only 4 ingredients: moscato wine, lemon lime soda, vodka and strawberries. Swap sparkling water or club soda if you prefer it less sweet, or customize it by adding more of your favorite fruits. We like peaches and watermelon, too! Either way, it’s a party favorite, and it’s perfect for bridal and baby showers or a backyard bbq.
