Beer Cocktails – Sierra Nevada Wild Little Thing Pink Lemonade

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!
