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?

    Not sure whether Germany or Belgium will start the war first, but it sounds like a great way to waste both perfectly good apple juice and perfectly good beer

    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…

        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.

      I remember it as just beer and cider, with the addition of blackcurrant making it a Purple Nasty, and all sorts of tales of how they allegedly reacted to make a vicious drink more than the sun of the parts that I am sure was fiction.

      And for Americans, this means alcoholic ciders, since they also call raw apple juice cider, and most Americans have no idea what a blackcurrant is (a delicious intense berry that was illegal to cultivate in the US for a lot of the recent past).

    No magic amount. Put a little of each in a small glass and see if the ratio works for you. By the third glass you’ll love any ratio.

    Step one: pour beer down the drain
    Step two: enjoy some apple juice
    Step three: have a huge glass of water

    I’ve never heard of this. But, when making the classic Brass Monkey you drink (or pour out for the homies) the Old E down to the top of the label, then refill with OJ. So maybe like a 1:5, 1:6 ratio, if that helps?
