Now that Spring freshness is in the air, you need a crisp drink to match!

This Spring Beer Cocktail recipe is a grown-up take on the infamous college punch (a handle of cheap vodka + 30-pack of light beer + tub of lemonade powder). I’ve seen it called many names before, from Skippy, to Jungle Juice, to Summer Beer. Some girls I was friends with in college used pink lemonade and called it by…another name. ;-)

This adult version uses real lemons, a hint of ginger, and a classy pilsner, and is sweetened with agave nectar.

Make sure to use a microplane on the ginger so you don’t end up with chunks in your drink.

Mint on top makes it look so tasty! It also adds a nice herbal freshness to the drink as you mix it in.

Sounds tasty…but agave nectar?? That stuff is worse than HFCS. Nothing natural about it…it’s mostly fructose derived from highly processed agave cores. Type 2 diabetes anybody?

That’s a horrible waste of Noble Pils. Use Bud!

I might have to set aside my usual Summer Beer cocktails (24 oz. light beer, 2 or 3 shots of tequila, and a can of concentrated frozen limeade) and try this out instead! Or I could just drink both… =)
