We all know and love beer, right? Well, some of us are kind of meh about beer, but the microbreweries help to increase our excitement about beer. And we all like a good mixed drink. Anyway, one of the newer trends in mixology is to create beer cocktails, where the drink is served with the remaining bottle of beer. Why not? Frankly, I think the idea is kind of brilliant.
It’s the kickoff of football season, baseball is winding down, and there’s a month until hockey starts. To help celebrate this glorious time of the year, we’re making a Tailgater today. This beer cocktail is made with Hornitos Spiced Honey tequila, cider, and a great Mexican beer. It’s not only totally on trend, it’s the perfect beer cocktail to serve for Fall, even if you’re staying indoors and not watching football.

Embrace the crisp air, ripe apples, and subtle cinnamon, allspice, and cloves that are making their way into all the things. Mix up a batch of Tailgaters for your football party, or just sit back and sip on one after work. Don’t be scared by the Tequila, either. Hornitos Spiced Honey Tequila is a smoother, sweeter flavor and not that harsh stuff we remember from our early 20s. You’re going to need pilsner glasses, and a lemon squeezer for this one. I have this citrus squeezer, and it works so well, and it’s dirt cheap. Of course, you’ll also need a cocktail shaker. A good bar set is something that everyone should have, though.
