This is the Happy Birthday To Me addition of BrewSounds. To celebrate I decide to share a little mixed drink recipe I made up with everyone. It's cheap, sweet, and deliciously simple.
Many craft beer fans, including myself, preach "quality not quantity" and I couldn't agree more with that statement. It is also commonly said that nothing should ever have to be added to a beer to make it better. I also totally agree with that. You won't find any oranges on the rim of my Belgian beer anytime, anywhere. That doesn't mean we can't add anything to a good brew.
I can hear the "purists" tisking already.
My reason today for sharing my recipe is because birthdays are days to party and sometimes you need to jump into party-mode with both feet.
I'm talking about tearing it up, folks.
Introducing:
'Nanastephaner
(Name By Amber Landes)
Buy one bottle of Wiehenstephaner Vitus.
It is 17oz so you will be able to make three drinks from this.
Buy one half pint of Bananas Brand Schnapps.
Pour 3/4oz Schnapps into glass of your choice.
Pour 51/2oz of the Vitus into the glass with the Schnapps.
That's it!
Vitus is already a flavorful brew that holds its own with a 7.7% abv. The addition of Bananas Brand Schnapps kicks the banana flavor that is already prevalent in Vitus up a notch and boosts the buzz factor enormously. This will definitely get the party started right!
Now, do you have a favorite beer mixing recipe or beer concoction that you came up with yourself?
