Hop, Skip and Go Naked

Light, refreshing and just-fruity-enough, this beer-based libation tastes as fun as it sounds (and it comes with an extra ounce of booze).

Ruddy Mary

Bloody Bull

Think Bloody Mary, but with beer and a little bit of licorice to round it off — salty, peppery and oh-so-spicy!

Chelada

What's the simplest way to spruce up a lager, Pilsner or light ale? All it takes is a salt-rimmed glass filled with ice and a touch of tart lime.

Half and Half

Think of it as a not-so-distant cousin to the Black and Tan. Only difference? Switch out the pale ale for a lighter lager.

Michelada

Enjoy Darryl's classic Mexican beer cocktail at brunch after work, or with dinner. Just make sure you're up for the heat, which it gets from a healthy dose of horseradish, black pepper and hot sauce.

Tomato Beer Cocktail

A little fizz goes a long way in this tasty beer-based sip. Mix in milder beers, like Pilsners, so the hops don't clash with the tomato juice.

Beerly Legal

What pairs with a hot dog? Beer, of course. Alie and Georgia serve up their Beerly Legal cocktail, mixing light beer with tangerine juice and orange liqueur to sweeten things up.

A Beer and a Ball Cocktail

Part bellini, part michelada, this beer cocktail is wholly awesome. Consider yourself warned, this sage-kissed drink has been called addictive from the first sip.
