Beer cocktails: The trick is to match the beer’s profile, light, fruity, dark, or bitter with the cocktail’s personality

Why stick to plain old beer when you can turn it into a cocktail that slaps? Whether you’re hosting friends or just experimenting in your kitchen, here are five beer cocktails you can whip up easily, using beers you can grab right off the shelves in India.

1. Beer Margarita (Beergarita) with Bira White

Take your margarita game up a notch by swapping soda with Bira White, known for its citrusy, smooth flavour. Mix tequila, lime juice, and triple sec, then top it off with Bira White. The wheat beer’s refreshing notes balance the tangy kick of the margarita perfectly.

2. Shandy with a Kick featuring Carib

Caribbean vibes in a glass! Traditionally, a shandy is just beer and lemonade, but make it adventurous by adding a shot of vodka or gin. Carib Lager, light, crisp, and tropical pairs beautifully with tangy lemonade for an instant beachy refresh.

3. Michelada Madness with Kingfisher Premium

Spice lovers, this one’s for you. Combine Kingfisher Premium with lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, a dash of soy, chili powder, and hot sauce. Serve it in a glass rimmed with chili salt. Bold, fiery, and a total brunch game-changer.

4. Black Velvet with Simba Stout

For a cocktail that looks as fancy as it tastes, pour equal parts Simba Stout (rich, dark, and chocolatey) and sparkling wine. The creaminess of the stout layered with bubbly fizz makes this one feel luxurious yet it’s surprisingly easy to make at home.

5. Beer Mojito with White Owl Spark

Give your mojito an effervescent twist. Muddle mint leaves, lime wedges, sugar, and rum, then top it off with White Owl Spark (a crisp Belgian-style wheat beer). The fruity notes of Spark make the mojito lighter and more refreshing than the soda version.

Pro Tip: Keep experimenting! The trick is to match the beer’s profile, light, fruity, dark, or bitter with the cocktail’s personality.
