Lemonade Beer with Cherry Rum


Say what??? You heard me correctly. I wasn't a believer either at first. I mean seriously, mix lemonade with beer? But, just because I'm not a believer doesn't mean I won't try something. At least once.


As you can see my recipe made a lot of this lovely beverage. Hubby and I enjoyed this immensely over the weekend while working in the yard. He isn't a "girly" drink kind of guy either, and he thought this was very tasty and refreshing.

We have friends (Hi Greg and Kari) who always have the best drink recipes. I mean, the BEST. Their sangria recipes is to DIE for, but I'm not allowed to share it. I mean, the recipe. I was kindly given the recipe when we moved away from them as a gift, with strict orders to keep it quiet. So you won't get that recipe from me, but enjoy this lemonade beer. Cause it's good. And I said so. And it's summer. Bottoms up!

Looks delicious Aimee.

People who refuse to share recipes make me go HULK SMASH! I don't get it...what is there to lose by sharing a great recipe? I'll just be over here in the corner with my crappy sangria pouting. :P

Aimee said...

Ali- you crack me up! I can share the drink, not the recipe, so come on over and have some sangria :)

I'm in love with this! I just had lemonade beer this past weekend (the store bought) and it was good - this sounds fabulous!

Aimee said...

Mo- (can I call you that?) It's easy to make and probably cheaper too :)

Mo 'Betta said...

Oh yeah...new follower from It's a Keeper!

Kari said...

We have to keep the recipe secret so we have something special to serve our friends when they come over! We spent a whole summer perfecting the recipe (before kids) so we are proud! And we did give Aimee the recipe as a going away present since she'd be all the way in Ohio....that's something!
Thanks for the new recipe - totally want to try this - maybe this weekend!

Aimee said...

Let me know if you try the lemonade beer Kari- it is so good. If you like more of a kick, add more rum.

If you ever want to share your sangria recipe, you just holla', and you can be a guest writer :)
Hope to see you soon!!

If this tastes anything like Leunkugals (sp?) summer ale, it is probably awesome!

I can't wait to try this! Would cherry vodka work just as well do you think? If so then I can make some up right now ;)

I found you from the blog hop and I now follow you via GFC. I would love it if you would follow me back :)

Aimee - I made it today for Father's Day and we loved it - so did Greg's parents. And I hate beer - was light and refreshing - very tasty! And easy to keep the ingredients on hand! Thanks!

Aimee said...

Kari- I'm glad you liked it! Next time I make it (later this week), I plan on adding some fruit to it...like marachino cherries and strawberries.

carolinaheartstrings said...

Wow does this sound fantastic. Just in time for 4th of July. Thanks for sharing this one.

Hmmm. I just drank a really lemony beer the other day and thought it was okay. This is going even farther. I'll have to give it a try, especially since I happen to have one of those little bitty bottles of Bacardi Cherry Rum sitting around.

Miranda said...

I love this. It's just like my Summer Beer I posted a few weeks back - except yours is cherry flavored. YUMMY!

Jenn Erickson said...

Wow, that sounds really refreshing and delicious! It's making me thirsty just reading about it. Definitely going to have to make a pitcher or two this summer!

Sharing your post over on my Facebook page!

I think that if you insist on having a recipe that you won't share that you should keep it a secret. Meaning don't rub it in that you have a 'perfect' recipe that no one else can have. It's like you are trying to have a "cool kids" club and only 3 people are getting in. Don't talk about it if you really insist on being that way!

Hi Aimee!
I love all your recipes. I found you thru Kari - went to High school with her. This lemonade beer is great. I doubled the rum because I wanted more cherry taste. Thanks for finding me my new favorite drink! :)

Aimee said...

Marcy-
Glad you enjoy it! We love it here too. Thanks for stopping by!
Aimee

I forgot and bought plain rum instead of cherry. Do you think it would work to just add a splash of Grenadine instead? Thanks!
