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
- Prepare raspberries: Gently rinse the fresh raspberries under cold water and set aside to drain and dry.
- 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.
- Add raspberries: Add the fresh raspberries into the pitcher with the lemonade and vodka mixture to infuse the fruity flavor.
- Pour beer: Slowly pour the chilled beer into the pitcher over the raspberry mixture, stirring gently to combine without losing much carbonation.
- 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.
