Summer Beer

4th of July has come and gone but I can't let summer completely pass without sharing one of my favorite drink recipes...Summer Beer.  When I lived in STL, I never heard of the stuff but since moving to KC (six and a half years ago...eek!), I realized just what I was missing!

Ingredients

• 1 - 12oz can Frozen Pink Lemonade
• Vodka (don't worry if the brand is cheap because the flavor of the lemonade will mask the bite)
• 4 - 6 cans Light Beer (such as Bud Light)

Directions

• In a pitcher, empty the pink lemonade (saving the can)
• Fill the 12oz can with vodka and add it to the pitcher
• Add 4 - 6 cans light beer (depending on personal taste)
• Note: I prefer to add 6 cans of beer as the pink lemonade is a strong/sweet taste
• Mix & Enjoy!

Additional Notes

• I've never tried traditional frozen Lemonade or Limeade (instead of the Pink Lemonade) but I know folks who have and really enjoy it...totally depends on personal taste.
• I've found this to be a great recipe for both med and women...it's stout enough for guys and fruity enough for gals...a win-win situation!
• You can double, triple, etc. this recipe to serve a large group...just make sure you have a big enough container.  A group of guys I used to work with would make Summer Beer in one of those big Gatorade water jugs you see at baseball and football games...stick with the ratio above and make as much or a little as you'd like.
