easy, elegant entertaining


Hey, Reader!

Ah, beer. There's nothing like cracking open a cold one on a hot summer day or sipping a pint as the snow falls. Basically, beer is an easy drink, anytime!

But why stop with just a simple beer? Beer cocktails capitalize on the flavors and bit of fizz to make a drink that's oh so tasty.

You'll love these beer cocktails because they're so easy to make. Just a few ingredients come together in an elevated cocktail. Let's hop to it!

summer shandy

No need to wait for summer to arrive, this light and bright two-ingredient drink is ready to enjoy just about anytime. Pick your favorite wheat beer, add lemonade (homemade is extra delicious) and you're all set.

corona sunrise

The Corona sunrise is fruity, bright and such a stunner! Because it's made right in a beer bottle, it's ultra-portable for sipping on the go β€” think tailgates, taco night, at the beach...

black velvet

Stout beer and champagne are an unexpectedly delightful combination in this Irish drink. It's a bit more elegant and would be a fun way to mix up your St. Patrick's Day celebrations.

michelada

Spice up your next brunch with a batch of these savory sippers made with tomato juice, lime juice, hot sauce and a light Mexican beer. Similar to a bloody Mary bar, you can offer different toppings to make it more of an experience if you're hosting guests.

spaghett

This simplified take on an Aperol spritz is a refreshing, bittersweet and bubbly drink I think deserves more attention. It's quick to make, inexpensive and easy to sip β€” I'd call that a win-win-win!

I hope you feel inspired to stop at the beer aisle and give one of these recipes a go!

Prost! (a German cheers)

easy, elegant entertaining Hey, Reader! Ah, March Madness. The magical time of year when those of us who don't closely follow college basketball use our intuition β€” AKA favorite colors and mascots β€” to predict which team will come out on top. If you're like me, the tournament isn't so much must-see TV as it is a chance to get together with friends and share some drinks as we cheer on a team. Here are the drinks I think are going to be winners while watching: sweet 16 With plenty of tournament...
