Mixology

As the seasons change so do we, and
when the mercury is set to hit some
of the lowest levels in the year there’s
no better way to warm yourself up
than with a stiff drink (or a warm cup
of cocoa). We’ve put together some
awesome drink mixes for you to test out
while you’re trying to keep warm - best
of all, we went for the easy-yet-tasty
mixes so they’ll be ready pronto! These
cocktails are perfect for staying indoors,
chilling with friends or entertaining
some holiday guests. Enjoy!

Here’s one mix you may not have heard
of and believe us when we say, you’ve got
to try it. Although it doesn’t seem like the
typical cocktail because it doesn’t make use
of a stronger spirit it still packs a punch.
So be warned. Plus, it’s a pretty tasty that’s
quick and easy to make and it’s sure to get
the party started.

Ingredients
10oz (280ml) lager
10oz (280ml) cider

Optional

Dash of blackcurrant for color

Instructions
It’s simple to make, mixing equal parts of
lager and cider in a pitcher or large beer
glass. If it feels a bit too strong you’re
welcome to add a little soda water or
crushed ice. What’s pretty cool is that
if you add blackcurrant to the mix your
drink’s color will change to a darker, more
sinister-looking tone - which is awesome if
you’re going for the random “what are you
drinking there?” appeal.
