The week of St. Patrick’s Day is always big on the drinking front, and perhaps you’re ready for something other than plain old beer. Esquire suggests some beer-based cocktails:
Porteree: Take a quarter-pint of porter, add superfine sugar, then fill with ice before topping off with more porter. A little grated nutmeg, and you’re golden.
Black Velvet: “The most elegant and delicious of beer drinks,” David Wondrich raves about this concoction—a champagne flute filled with half stout, half brut bubbly.
Shandy Gaff: Pour half a pint of a good, well-chilled American pale ale, and top with ginger beer.
Berliner Weisse mit Schuss: Pour an ounce of raspberry syrup into a wheat-beer glass, top with said brew.
Groundskeeper: Start with 1 ounce of a smoky single-malt Scotch, then fill the rest of a pint glass with chilled American pilsner. Yes, even Bud.
