Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 5

ice cubes
1 bottle beer (go with a nice American brew in this one, such as Miller High Life)
9 oz. fresh lemonade
1-1/2 oz. vodka
lemon slice for garnish

Steps:

  • Add a good-sized handful of ice to a 24-ounce "big girl" beer glass. Add 8 ounces of the lemonade to the glass. Slowly, carefully, add the bottle of beer to the glass (go too fast and it's a mess). Add the vodka, then top it off with the last ounce of lemonade. Stir once, with a mighty long spoon. Squeeze the lemon slice over the top and drop it in.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Tea: Select a flavorful black tea, such as Assam or Darjeeling, for a robust summer brew.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Always use fresh fruit and herbs for the best flavor in your summer brew. When fruits are in season, the flavors are richer and more intense.
  • Adjust Sweetness to Taste: Add sugar or honey to taste. If you prefer a tart flavor, reduce the amount of sweetener or omit it altogether.
  • Let it Cool: Allow the brew to cool slightly before serving over ice. This helps to preserve the delicate flavors and aromas.
  • Garnish Generously: Add a garnish of fresh fruit, herbs, or a citrus twist to enhance the visual appeal and flavor.
  • Experiment with Flavors: Don't be afraid to mix and match different fruits, herbs, and spices to create your unique summer brew blend.

Conclusion:

Summer brew is a refreshing and flavorful drink that is perfect for enjoying on a hot day. With a variety of recipes to choose from, there's a summer brew for everyone. So experiment with different fruits, herbs, and spices to create your perfect summer brew. You can also adjust the sweetness and tartness to your liking.
