Practical notes
Best beer to use for summer brew?
We recommend reaching for a light beer. It doesn’t have to be Bud Light but buying a light beer that isn’t full of other flavors is key. You will mix it with lemonade concentrate and vodka, so you don’t want the beer to be overpowering.
How strong is vodka beer lemonade?
This recipe can be made as strong as you like or as light as you want. Taste and see how you like the recipe. If you want a stronger mix, you might add more beer or vodka to the mix. If you want to lighten it up, add in more lemonade.
Can we use pink lemonade for summer brew cocktail?
You can use pink lemonade to replace with lemonade concentrate. You could even use a limeade concentrate, and then add in lime wedges in replace of lemon wedges!
Do we need to use lemonade concentrate for summer brew vodka drink?
You do need to buy frozen concentrated lemonade. The reason being is the concentrate is a lot sweeter than just a glass of fresh lemonade. If you were to use regular lemonade, you would want to do equal parts of lemonade to beer in the recipe. It might not offer that crisp finish as the concentrate offers.
