If you've never had a beer cocktail, you're missing the most refreshing cocktail spin.
World Cocktail Day is the ideal reason to shake things up—and no, we don't mean the typical mixers. If you've never had a beer cocktail, you're missing the most refreshing cocktail spin. From citrus mixes to spicy stouts, these simple beers are house party staples waiting to take center stage.
Medusa
Radler is a refreshing, low-alcohol beer cocktail that is great for consuming during warm weather and easy sipping. To enjoy this German drink, combine 150 ml of cold Medusa Air (Medusa's mild beer variant with 4.5% ABV brewed using 2-row barley malt) with 150 ml of grapefruit or lemon soda. Add soda into a tall glass, then slowly top it up with Medusa Air to preserve the fizz. Stir gently if necessary and garnish the drink with lemon for a citrusy touch. The smooth, balanced flavor of Medusa Air, along with its slight bitterness, complements the tang of the soda, making it a perfect option for this classic German-style cocktail. The drink is refreshing and crisp, still has the essence of beer and citrusy brightness, making it ideal for afternoons and informal gatherings.
Proost
It's a hot day, the friends are over, and you're in the mood to experiment. You fill a glass with some orange juice, add a splash of lime, a dash of honey for sweetness, and a pinch of black salt for that desi flavor. Stir it well, then slowly add chilled Proost Premium Beer (6.8% ABV). See the golden fizz rise, it's like a sunset in a glass. One sip, and it's fresh, smooth, and just enough kick. No special tools, no great effort. Just good vibes and a great drink. Cheers to simple evenings!
Lone Wolf
At Lone Wolf, we believe bold beers deserve equally bold companions, and our beer cocktails are anything but average. These inventive brews bring the bite, the buzz, and the unmistakable character of Lone Wolf into every sip. Meet the Lone Michelada, a fearless twist on the classic, crafted with the tropical sweetness of 30 ml mango juice, the sharp zest of 15 ml lime juice, a fiery kick from 3 dashes of Tabasco, and a dusting of crushed pepper, all brought together with a refreshing top-up of Lone Wolf WILD. For those who prefer a fruit-forward adventure, the Alpha Berry Mimosa is your juicy detour from the usual, blending 10 ml strawberry syrup, 30 ml orange juice, and 10 ml lime juice, finished with a lively pour of Lone Wolf ALPHA beer for a bright, effervescent experience. And if you like your sips bold and blazing, the Lone Blaze is here to deliver: a vivid, bittersweet blend of 30 ml Aperol and 30 ml lemon juice, topped generously with MAVRICK beer, served over ice, and garnished with a lemon twist and cherries. Each cocktail is a new way to unleash your wild side — one Lone Wolf brew at a time.
Simba
A bold, indulgent cocktail blending craft beer and coffee, perfect for evening sipping or dessert pairings. It combines the roasted notes of Simba Stout (chocolate, coffee, caramel) with the smooth bitterness of cold brew coffee. To make it: pour 150 ml Simba Stout into a chilled glass, add 100 ml unsweetened cold brew, a dash of vanilla or coffee liqueur, stir gently, and serve over a large ice cube. Garnish with roasted coffee beans or an orange peel. A velvety, layered drink, creamy, bold, and ideal for post-dinner unwinding.
