Fun Summer Drinks...

This web site tells us that it's okay to mix our beer with other stuff to make "beer cocktails" - even though it's perhaps a bit uncouth according to the American norm. Given my husband's love for the Mexican Michalada, I think this could be an idea that catches on. Here are some highlights:

Michelada
Freshly squeezed juice of 2-3 limes
12 oz. Mexican beer, like Corona
3 dashes Worcestershire sauce
2 dashes hot sauce, such as Tabasco
1/4 C Clamato or other tomato juice
Salt rim of beer mug and fill with ice. Add lime juice. Fill almost to top with beer and add Worcestershire, hot sauce, and Clamato. Garnish with lime wedge.

Shandy
6 ounces light beer
6 ounces lemonade (ginger ale and Sprite also work)
Combine, drink, repeat.

Boilermaker
1 pint beer
1-1/2 ounces whiskey
Drink together, with the whiskey as a chaser, or drop the shot glass in Irish Car Bomb-style.

Snakebite
1/2 pint lager
1/2 pint hard cider (optional)
1-2 shots of vodka Mix lager with cider. Attempt to remain upright.

Could result in things like this:
