The Perfect Shandy

[krashkart]

Or snakebites if ye prefer. :hmmm:


So we have this dinner thing going tonight and I want to amuse our guests with my limited mixology foo (Oh yes, they will laugh http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=258&pictureid=5377). From what I've read a shandy is half-and-half beer and cider. I wonder if anyone here knows of any special recipes, certain mix proportions, etc...

...or we could just spam the thread with more beer talk (That's basically the point anyway). :D



Fire away! :O:

[u crank]

Well, from my limited knowledge on the subject, :03: there is no wrong way to drink beer.

Cheers man. :yep:

If you want to get plastered rather quickly then try this
Lager snakebite, Stella and Strongbow cider

Depthcharges are fun. Drop a shot glass of whatever hard liquor you like into a large glass of beer then down the lot in one go.

Do we get extra points for swallowing the shot glass, too? :hmmm:

Don't forget a dash of blackcurrant cordial

Forgive me for asking a possibly ignorant question, but what is this 'cordial' stuff I keep hearing about? :06:

[Jimbuna]

A cordial is like a watered down syrup and is concentrated in the flavour strength.

I mix peppermint cordial with my dark rum.

Since we have more experience with submarines than with depth charges, we call the drink "Uboot" here :know:
In my region it's made with Jenever (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenever) in a 0.2 liter Alt beer glass.

Snakebites. :o

I once drank 8 of those in the space of two hours at an army reunion. I felt no pain until the next day when I was sure that I was going to die.

Or do it the german way mix beer 50/50 with coke/sprite/fanta or my personal favourite bitterlemon

Yep, these mixes are very popular here, especially in the summer. Every region has their own name for these mixes.
Better than using the Coke lemonades, which are only made with tap water, the local lemonade brands are preferable, as they use mineral water. This way you give your body the minerals back which the alcohol draws out of the body. Your head will be thankful the next day! :DL

As much of a subsimmer as I am..... I still prefer a few perfectly made B-52's instead. If your wanted to just get someone slobbering, fall outta their chair drunk - challenge to a shot for shot drinking contest and use golden grain or everclear.

Just don't do it near an open flame....

That reminds me of my first encounter with sake... Had a great night, but the next day was sheer misery. It was the second-worst hangover I've ever had. :rotfl2:

I've been T-total since the 30th of December. Decided to quit drinking the day before New Years Eve. Saw the New Year in with a coffee in my hand :P

I've had nothing so far this year, which is probably the longest I've gone since I was 17! (now 36)

Bottoms up! think I'm going to put the kettle on...:cool:
