The
first time I heard that there were cocktails with beer as a main ingredient, I
was like, "Ew, no way, and no thanks!" It just seems like beer, liqueurs,
and syrups would not marry well at all. But, I could not have been more
wrong. Beer cocktails are awesome, and I'm upset it took me 11 years of legal drinking to realize it. I
invite you to participate in this discovery and try the Cold In The Shadows
cocktail.
Admittedly,
people either fall into "love it" or "hate it" camps when it comes to bitters like Campari. I love this spirit, and it’s a great buy because it’s very versatile.
For starters, you can mix up a simple Negroni, but you can
also do things like a Three Ingredient Brooklyn Float and boozy Popsicles.
