More than just a beer

July 29th, 2010

A beer’s just a beer, right?  Well no, apparantly.  I’m not a huge fan of the stuff myself but looking at these ‘beer cocktails’ I could soon be liking it very much!  Let us know if you try one…

Limeade concentrate and orange liqueur

 

Fresh slices of cucumber, apple, and orange  mixed with orange juice

 

Made with fresh raspberries and raspberry lemonade concentrate

 

Make your own non-alcoholic beer from bottled ginger, lime juice, sugar, and sparkling water!  It looks so refreshing.  I love that ‘kick’ you get from ginger, too.
