asking because supermarket ran out of lemon soda.

I’ve never mixed both and I don’t know if it’s a good idea, due to taste and because apple juice doesn’t have bubbles. Am I going to create a frankendrink?

    I’ve never heard of mixing beer and apple juice. Beer and lemonade for a Shandy or radler, sure, but apple juice??

    I know in Asia mixing beer with tomato juice is somewhat common, but apple? I dunno…

      Mexico too, they call it a chelada.

        Is it just mixed with, like, V8? I tried that and didn’t care for it. It seemed like it muted the flavor of both the tomato juice and the beer. Should I be using pure tomato juice and not a blend like V8?

          The Mexican section of your grocery store should have Clamato or other brands of Mexican tomato juice

          Honestly I’m not a huge fan of it so I’m not entirely sure, but from what I understand it’s regular tomato juice, beer, and then some folks will add spices like tajin and spice, and often lime. I’m more inclined to use clamato (tomato and clam juice cocktail), but then I’d just go ahead and make a bloody maria (tequila).

              Don’t knock it till you try it! Tomato, splash of clam juice, quality tequila, cayenne pepper, regular pepper, celery salt, takin, and some veggies to munch on, it’s delicious. The clam adds a good texture and bump of flavor, but I’m also all about seafood.
