Beer Cocktails suit the moment and the melding of beer a spirits can sometimes be transcendental. And with late-summer lingering this one’s a keeper.

And Sierra Nevada’s beer cocktail marries the pleasures of Pink Lemonade with fresh fruit, late summer herbs and vodka.

This deceptively easy-to-make cocktail is crafted with Sierra Nevada’s popular Wild Little Thing, a 5.5% ABV fruit-forward Sour Ale with Guava, Hibiscus and Strawberries.

In addition to one can of Sierra Nevada’s widely available Sour Ale All you’ll need is a few basic ingredients to make this fruity frozen cocktail, but we suggest using a craft vodka.

Let’s do this!

Sierra Nevada Wild Little Thing Pink Lemonade

Ingredients (one serving)

1 can Wild Little Thing

2 strawberries

9 large basil leaves

1/2 teaspoon sugar

1 ounce fresh squeezed lemon juice

1.5 ounces vodka

Directions

Step 1

Quarter one strawberry and place pieces, basil leaves, sugar, and lemon juice at the bottom of a 12-ounce glass. Muddle vigorously.

Step 2

Add vodka and fill the glass with ice.

Step 3

Pour Wild Little Thing over ice until the glass is full.

Step 4

Garnish with strawberry sliced down the middle and with a smacked basil sprig (place sprig in your palm and gently smack with the other hand).
