Beer Cocktail: The Bavarian Mojito
“beer cocktails, as Martha herself might say, are a good thing.”
Beer cocktails: They’re not beer, clearly, nor are they your traditional cocktails since the addition of beer here generally added something new to each take on the beverage.
Instead, the beer cocktail works when the beverage brings something out in the beer you might otherwise miss; as it did in The Bavarian Mojito.
By adding a weissbier, such as Muskoka Brewery’s Summer Weiss, into the sweet, lime, minty concoction, this drink pulls a lot of the underlying citrus and fizz (if I can be so bold as use “fizz” as a positive characteristic of a beer) that otherwise might go unappreciated in a glass of weissbier.
For rum, I went with 66 Gilead’s Duck Island Rum, made locally in Bloomfield, ON
The Bavarian Mojito Ingredients:
- 2 bar spoons organic white sugar
- 8 mint leaves
- Juice of one fresh lime
- 1 oz. 66 Gilead Distillery Duck Island Rum
- 1 bottle Muskoka Brewery Summer Weiss (LCBO #345017)
Make it:
- Muddle sugar, mint, and lime juice in highball glass
- Add ice and rum
- Top glass with weiss beer
- Stir well
- Add additional ice as needed
