4.6 from 92 reviews

A refreshing and fruity Raspberry Beer Cocktail that combines fresh raspberries, summery beer, frozen raspberry lemonade concentrate, and vodka for a delightful and easy-to-make drink perfect for warm weather gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale

Fruit

  • 1/2 pint fresh raspberries
  • Lemon and lime slices for garnish

Liquids

  • 4 bottles (12 ounces each) chilled beer (Blue Moon or any summery beer)
  • 1 container (12 ounces) frozen raspberry or pink lemonade concentrate, thawed
  • 1/2 cup vodka

Instructions

  1. Prepare raspberries: Gently rinse the fresh raspberries under cold water and set aside to drain and dry.
  2. Mix lemonade and vodka: In a large pitcher, combine the thawed raspberry (or pink) lemonade concentrate with the vodka. Stir well to blend the flavors.
  3. Add raspberries: Add the fresh raspberries into the pitcher with the lemonade and vodka mixture to infuse the fruity flavor.
  4. Pour beer: Slowly pour the chilled beer into the pitcher over the raspberry mixture, stirring gently to combine without losing much carbonation.
  5. Garnish and serve: Add lemon and lime slices into the cocktail for a fresh citrus aroma and visual appeal. Serve immediately over ice if desired for a refreshing experience.

Notes

  • Use a light or summery beer such as Belgian Witbier or a wheat beer for best flavor pairing.
  • For extra fizz, pour the beer slowly down the side of the glass or pitcher to retain carbonation.
  • Adjust vodka amount according to your preferred alcohol strength.
  • Adding ice cubes is optional but recommended to keep the cocktail chilled, especially on hot days.
  • Fresh raspberries can be lightly muddled if you want more intense berry flavor.
