Craft Beer in London and elsewhere around the world is usually a beverage consumed all on its own, without any mixers. This is because craft beer offers some very exotic and unique flavours and aromas, and many different types which are suitable for different palates. However, this does not mean that you cannot combine it with something else to come up with some unique cocktails and mixes.
Some types of craft beer in London which may be used in combination with other drinks and ingredients include IPA’s, Lager, wheat beers and stout. You should always consider the specific flavour of the beer you select and choose the right mixers accordingly, something that compliments the beer and doesn’t work against it.
So, what are the cocktails that you can make with your craft beer?
- The Michelada – Ideal with a lager, this cocktail combines lime juice, sea salt, a little Tequila and a dash of Worcestershire sauce.
- Espresso Stout – Deep and dark stout beer is combined with coffee liqueur and cold espresso, for a nice roasted coffee flavoured cocktail.
- Ginger Shandy – Wheat beer and a combination of lemon juice (2 full lemons), ginger cordial and ginger wine, offer a very spicy and delightful beverage to please the crowds.
- Campari IPA – IPA, Campari, orange juice, orange peel and lots of ice go into making a very citrussy flavoured beer cocktail.
- Raspberry Beer Mojito – Take your Mojitos to the next level with a craft beer. Raspberry beer, spiced rum, lime juice and mint leaves go into making a delicate and delicious raspberry beer mojito, garnished with fresh raspberries of course.
- Black Velvet – A dark stout and champagne mixed together on 50:50 ratio makes a smooth delicious drink.
- IPA Piña Colada – IPA, dark rum, pineapple concentrate, coconut cream, ice and fresh pineapple for garnishing makes for an exotic and different Piña Colada.
