Cool off with the Queen Mary Cocktail recipe! Combine beer, Grenadine, and a maraschino cherry for a refreshing summer cocktail.
Prep time: 1 minute minute
Mixing time: 1 minute minute
- 1 oz Grenadine
- 12 oz Beer
- Maraschino cherry - for garnish
Pint Glass
Measuring Jigger
Stirrer or Bar Spoon
Prep Glass: Fill your pint glass with 12 oz Beer.
Add Grenadine: Pour 1 oz Grenadine into the beer.
Garnish: Drop a maraschino cherry into the glass.
Substitutes:
- Grenadine: If you don't have Grenadine, use pomegranate juice mixed with simple syrup. I've also tried raspberry syrup for a different fruity twist.
- Beer: You can use light beer, but a lager works best. For a non-alcoholic version, use non-alcoholic beer; it still gives you that refreshing taste without the alcohol.
- Maraschino Cherry: A fresh cherry or even a slice of lime can work as a garnish if you're out of maraschino cherries.
Making it Non-Alcoholic:
- Beer Substitute: Use non-alcoholic beer; many good options are available that mimic the taste of regular beer quite well.
- Proceed As Usual: Use the non-alcoholic beer instead of regular beer, follow the original steps, and enjoy a non-alcoholic version.
Making it Vegan:
- Maraschino Cherry Substitute: Some maraschino cherries contain animal-derived ingredients. Opt for vegan-friendly maraschino cherries or use fresh cherries instead.
- Proceed as usual. To enjoy a vegan version of this cocktail, ensure all your ingredients are vegan-friendly and follow the original steps.
