Ingredients
 

  • 1 oz Grenadine
  • 12 oz Beer
  • Maraschino cherry - for garnish

Equipment

  • Pint Glass
  • Measuring Jigger
  • Stirrer or Bar Spoon

Instructions

  • 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.

Notes

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.
