Strawberry beermosa beer cocktails are a fun twist on a fruity favorite. Best with a light-tasting or citrus-y beer. These are a GREAT summer cocktail for beer-lovers.
I love a good cocktail in the summer. I especially love a cocktail that’s easy to make and uses few ingredients.
This is, by far, the strangest cocktail I’ve had. Until recently I hadn’t heard of beermosas. But a friend of mine told me they’re a staple in Milwaukee (where she’s from), and since she usually has decent taste in booze, I decided to give them a shot.
Strawberry Beermosa Beer Cocktails
- 1/2 cup strawberry puree
- 1 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1 (12 oz) beer — I used ShockTop Belgian White
Step 01: If you need to make the strawberry puree, do so by adding strawberries to a food processor. One carton of strawberries will make approximately 8 oz (1 cup) of puree. Some people add water to their puree, but I do not.
Step 02: Mix the puree, orange juice, and beer together. You can blend it, shake it, stir it–whatever. As long as it’s completely mixed.
Step 03: Pour into a glass and serve chilled!
Zach had mixed feelings about these (he’ll drink them, but they’re not his favorite thing). I LOVED them! I liked the texture–they look frothy and gritty, but they didn’t actually feel that way. They have the texture of a smoother beer.
Whether or not you could taste the beer? Well, yes and no. If I thought about it, the beer was there. Otherwise, it could have been like putting ginger ale in this. (Which, by the way, is a nice option if you want to make a virgin batch. But then they wouldn’t be beermosas. Not sure what you’d call that, actually….)
The two things I loved most, though, are that they are easy and one 6-pack of beer will make a ton of these. (Just get extra strawberries if you plan to use more than 3-4 bottles of beer.) Each batch makes roughly 3.5 servings, so one 6-pack will be enough to serve 21. Assuming you stick to smaller glasses (making each serving 1 cup).
Would I prefer wine-based mimosas? Depends on my mood. Anyone who drinks both wine and beer knows that sometimes you just want one over the other.
If you don’t enjoy a good beer, though, I would still recommend trying these…but maybe see if you can find a single bottle of beer before buying a whole case. Because whether or not you would like these can go either way. 😛
