15 Cocktails Using Ginger Beer, Summer's Coolest Mixer

Whether you're on the beach or raising a glass after work, these recipes will liven up your summer nights.

We all know (and love) the Moscow Mule, but it's time to get more creative with this season's trendy brew. With fruity flavors and vibrant colors, these ginger beer drinks are the perfect toast to summer. Cheers!

Don't forget to pin these ginger beer recipes for your next party and follow Redbook on Pinterest for more inspiration!

Put your big girl pants on for this twist on a Moscow Mule, which mixes cranberry juice and and citrus flavors for a tart sip that will taste so refreshing all summer long.

If you reserve bourbon for cold winter nights, this cocktail might make you break it out for the summer time — lemon juice makes the bourbon a little less potent, and ginger beer and club soda add an effervescence that's just right for how summer days.

A twist on the classic Paloma cocktail, these drinks call for ginger beer instead of club soda — and that little bit of ginger flavor makes all the difference.

Margaritas are great, and regular ol' beeritas are nice, too. But swap in ginger beer for regular brews and you'll get a fresh cocktail with just a little bit of bite. Yum.

It's probably a cocktail first for you (it certainly was for us), but add apple butter to this beer-and-bourbon drink. It adds a caramelized spike you won't soon forget.

Don't reserve this refreshing sip for the Kentucky Derby, especially when it only requires three ingredients — and about two minutes — to make. The ginger beer gives this classic drink a bubbly twist.

Planning a party? Try this sparkling take on a summer sangria that you can make by the pitcher.

Summer is prime strawberry time, so we would be remiss to not include a cocktail that makes good use of the tasty berries and adds sweetness to the ginger beer-cocktail favorite.

This gorgeous drink capitalizes on the fresh blackberries in season this summer, and with the option to use vodka, gin, or rum, the possibilities are endless. Might we suggest a different liquor for each batch?

Raise a glass to summer with this sunshine-colored cocktail.

1/8 oz vanilla bean bitters

1/8 oz herbisaint

1.5 oz lemon juice

2oz Ginger Beer

2 oz Veglio Michelino e Figlio Moscato d'Asti

Add everything other than Moscato d'Asti in Boston shaker and shake. Strain over new ice and top with Moscato d'Asti.

This delicious drink creatively combines ginger beer with apple cider and vodka. Top it with a cinnamon stick to cap off a cool summer evening, or easily transition into fall.

Step up your wine game by mixing it with vermouth and ginger beer. The triple-threat combo adds drama to a sparkling prosecco.

2 oz VOGA Prosecco

1 oz Pomegranate Juice

½ oz Sweet Vermouth

2 oz Ginger Beer

Fill glass with ice and then add the VOGA Prosecco, Pomegranate Juice, Sweet Vermouth and Ginger Beer. Add in a few cherries and mix well. Top with a single cherry and enjoy.

With grapefruit in peak season, why not try this exciting twist on the standard mule? We won't even blame you for skipping the copper mug.

The Brazilian cachaça lends itself to a bright and zesty beverage that just looks like a splash of summer.

2 oz Cachaça 51

.5 oz lime juice

.5 oz simple syrup

.75 oz carrot juice

Pour Cachaça 51, juice and syrup into shaker. Add ice, shake and strain into a collins glass with fresh ice. Top with ginger beer. Garnish with a candied ginger.

Ginger beer is an unexpected — but delicious — addition to this Cuban cocktail.

German Cocktails Made With Beer and Wine

Have a German-Style Cocktail Hour With an Authentic Drink

Part of the fun of traveling is tasting the authentic food and drinks -- even if you're not a certified foodie. Whether you're in a casual place or are out for an upscale experience, having a German cocktail is part of the adventure.

If you're making a German meal of roast and potatoes at home, do it up right by starting off with a German mixed drink.

On this list you'll find the most common mixed drinks served in Germany.

Get familiar with them so when you are in a restaurant it will be easier to order -- although getting the pronunciation right is up to you.

These German-style mixed drinks cut down on alcohol content and still quench that thirst. Cocktails made with hard liquor were not popular until recently in Germany and follow the American style. So you can order a Manhattan, Cosmo or whatever is your favorite, but if you are looking for an authentic German cocktail, check out one from this list and pretend you are in your own real-life cabaret, channeling Liza Minnelli.

Craft Beer Cocktail: Indian summer

After just entering the Pink Lady Food Photographer of the year 2016 competition with a picture of a cocktail that we could have, honestly, been a little better prepared for. Max said he wanted more drinks in his portfolio.

Suits me, drinks are a bit more challenging to shoot (as I found out). You have a glass, which is a reflective object. Restricted angles, potentially more time sensitive elements like ice, bubbles and condensation. The point when the cocktail looks it’s best usually only lasts a few seconds before it starts to look flat.

So in the absence of any super hot drinks trends on my radar I turned to Mr Google to inspire me. What does 2016 hold for the drinks industry? And then I realised it was sitting under my nose. I don’t think we are getting many points for classy ideas with this one. But with summer approaching (kind of) something I had witnessed a few times over the past months while I was out with husband and friends, suddenly bubbled to the front of my memory.

I had witnessed on 3 separate, unrelated occasions, people ordering…a Shandy!

This had not happened since college and did not go unnoticed. The idea to me seemed inspired, a breath of fresh air, as something normally considered nag and retro suddenly made sense. A grownup nostalgic drink with a twist of sugar and a responsible about of alcohol.

It seemed ridiculous initially but I thought with the right treatment, me and Max could somehow make Shandy cool again! I had seen the words ‘Beer cocktail’ splashed about on the internet a few times, so after some digging, I turned up quite a lot of ideas.

The craft beer movement is gaining momentum here in Berlin. With an enthusiasm for artisanal products and a growing rejection of mass produced anything, I decided to turn our attention to some local brews. My idea was to take 3 suitable craft beers being produced in Berlin, come up with an inspiring way of mixing them (glamorous Shandy’s), and then to pair them with a ‘bar snack’, that gives Max something else to think about.

Here is our first instalment made with one of my favourite Beers sorts, IPA. Heiden Peters is a small brewery selling our of Markthalle Neun in Kreuzberg. We actually bought one of his beers (well a whole keg) for our Wedding, (thats a small, personal endorsement). This American IPA goes well with citrus flavours and we used pink grapefruit so as not to be too obvious. For the food pairing, Max wanted to exploit the Indian connection so spicy chilli nuts became the order of the day. They are a great combination!

For 1 large or 2 small cocktails

• 50 ml oz Tru Organic Gin
• 25 ml Fruitlab Hibiscus Organic Liqueur.
• 25 ml Simple Syrup.
• 20 ml Pink Grapefruit.
• 10 ml oz Lemon.
• 1 x small bottle Heiden Peters
• Ice

Pour all ingredients except the beer into a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake and strain into a tall glass on the rocks. Garnish with Grapefruit Zest.

• 1tbsp smoked salt
• 1tbsp sweet paprika
• 1tbsp cayenne pepper
• 1tbsp freshly ground black pepper
• 1tsp thyme getrockeneter
• ½ tsp brown sugar
• 3 sprigs of rosemary
• 1 egg (size M)
• 500g mixed nuts (such as almonds, peanuts, walnuts, pecans, cashews, etc.)

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Combine all the spices. Wash the rosemary and shake dry. Whisk the egg white until stiff. Mix the nuts with the spices, herbs and egg white and layout on a baking tray lined with baking paper.

Bake in preheated oven until golden brown and crispy for about 14 minutes.

The spicy nuts can be well kept in screw or tin cans.

Für einen großen oder 2 kleine Cocktails

• 50 ml guter Gin
• 25 ml Hibiskus Likör
• 25 ml weißer Rohrzuckersirup
• 20 ml frisch gepresster Pink Grapefruit Saft
• 10 ml frisch gepresster Zitronen- oder Limettensaft
• 1 Flasche Heidenpeters American IPA
• Eiswürfel

Alle Zutaten in einem Shaker mixen. Eiswürfel in die Gläser geben,

Gin-Grapefruitmix daraufgeben und mit Bier auffüllen.

Man kann dazu gut kleine Grapefruitstücke mit –saft oder einfach Wasser einfrieren und den Cocktail mit Grapefruitzesten oder Scheiben garnieren.

• 1 EL Räuchersalz
• 1 EL Paprika edelsüß
• 1 TL Cayenne Pfeffer
• 1 TL frisch gemahlener schwarzer Pfeffer
• 1 TL getrockeneter Thymian
• ½ TL brauner Zucker
• 3 Zweige Rosmarin
• 1 Eiweiß (Größe M)
• 500 g gemischte Nüsse (wie Mandeln, Erdnüsse, Walnüsse, Pekanüsse, Cashews etc.)

Den Backofen auf 180°C vorheizen. Gewürze mischen. Rosmarinzweige waschen und trocken schütteln. Eiweiß mit einem Schneebesen kurz schaumig schlagen. Nüsse mit Gewürzen, Kräutern und Eiweiß mischen und auf ein mit Backpapier ausgelegtes Backblech geben.

Im vorgeheizten Backofen ca. 14 Minuten goldbraun und knusprig backen.

Die würzigen Nüsse lassen sich gut in Schraubgläsern oder Blechdosen aufbewahren.

Ginger Beer & Gin Cocktail

At the risk of sounding like a complete skinflint I’d like to moan and groan about cocktail prices in restaurants, bars and night clubs. Am I the only one who thinks they are hideously overpriced?!

The cheapest cocktail I’ve come across was £4, which was served in a teeny-weeny glass, to a ludicrous £15 at an upmarket restaurant.

Just as an example I will tally up this drink.

£1 for 1.5 litres of ginger beer. 250ml = 17p

So what exactly are we paying for? The experience, the dishwasher, music and let’s not forget the all-important bartender. He’d better be Robert Pattinson-cute plus show off his biceps in a tight shirt if we are to pay the restaurant 300% in profits. These establishments are notorious for committing daylight robbery in the alcohol/drinks department. It’s a wonder why the public hasn’t spoken up yet!

If I still haven’t convinced you to prepare your own cocktail, at least order it without ice to get the most bang for your buck. For the converts, get creative with your cocktails and enjoy yourself at home, it’s dangerous to drink and drive anyway.

Ginger Beer & Gin Cocktail

Total 5 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 parts gin, e.g. Gordon’s
• juice of half a lemon
• 5ml (1 tsp) caster sugar
• ginger beer
• ice cubes
• orange slice to garnish
• mint leaves to garnish

Instructions

1. Place the gin, lemon juice and sugar in a glass and stir. Add the ice cubes and top off with ginger beer. Stir gently and serve immediately.

Recipe Notes

• If you are lucky enough to own a cocktail shaker then shake the gin, sugar and lemon juice with some of the ice, strain into the glass and top off with ginger beer. Stir gently and serve.
• Just multiply the ingredients according to how many people you serve.
• Old Jamaica Ginger Beer is my favourite!

I arrived at this site because I googled ‘Ginger Beer and Gin Cocktail’ thinking I had discovered a new and refreashing drink. Not so it seems. Pity cos I had even thought of a good name for it. Oh well back to the drawing board… or should it be ‘The Cocktail Shaker’

That is a gorgeous photo! Very artistic.

I agree about alcoholic beverages out. They are way overpriced!

Ginger Beer and Ginger Ale Cocktail Recipes

Ginger ale and ginger beer add a refreshing spice to mixed drinks

Ginger ale, and its spicier, fermented cousin ginger beer, are ideal cocktail mixers. The effervescence lightens up a summery highball, while the ginger's bite tames spirits. We've rounded up our favorite ginger ale and ginger beer cocktail recipes.

Ginger ale and ginger beer can both be purchased, but it's fun and easy to make them on your own. For ginger ale, simply make a syrup out of water, ginger, sugar, and a dash of black peppercorns, then mix it with soda water. To make ginger beer, brew up a similar ginger mixture and add in spices and champagne yeast. Strain the mixture, bottle it, and after a day of fermentation you have your very own ginger beer!

Whether you make or buy, you've got delicious recipes to try. The Moscow Mule is a classic mix of ginger beer and vodka. If you steep the vodka with lemongrass and grapefruit to make aquavit then you have a variation called a Swedish Mule, while swapping the vodka out for gin and adding a little mint makes a Gin-Gin Mule.

The Dark 'N Stormy is another classic ginger beer cocktail, with black rum and ginger beer swirling together like storm clouds. The Black and Stormy is a variation that kicks up the spice with ginger liqueur.

For a summertime drink for your next cookout, mix together a pitcher of our Strawberry Pimm's Cup with ginger ale and kaffir lime leaves.

Check out all of our favorite ginger ale and ginger beer cocktail recipes, plus recipes for homemade ginger beer and ginger syrup!

Any of these cocktails can be made with store-bought ginger beer. But if you want to go the extra mile, you can brew your own from scratch.

Not quite up to brewing your own ginger beer? An easier option is to make your own ginger ale by cooking up a batch of this ginger syrup and mixing it with soda water.

Inspired by our list of Friday cocktails, bartender Michael Neff noticed that bitter flavors were prominent, as were fizzy drinks made with fresh fruit and herbs. To that end, he created a modified Pimm's Cup, using Cynar to add a bit more bitter tang and ginger beer for spice. Fresh fruit and herbs round out the (almost) traditional summer refresher.

By trademark, this Bermudan combination of rum and ginger beer requires Gosling's Black Seal Rum; similar drinks with names like dark 'n foggy or light 'n stormy use other rums.

A refreshing marriage between a Tom Collins and a Dark n' Stormy, this lime and ginger beer-spiked gin cocktail has an intriguing herbal undertone thanks to Amaro Abano, a zesty Italian digestif with notes of bitter orange, cardamom, and white pepper.

This vodka-and–ginger beer libation is traditionally served in a copper mug.

In this Moscow Mule variation, vodka is infused with lemongrass and grapefruit to make aquavit.

This Moscow Mule variation is made with gin and mint.

Black-currant-flavored crème de cassis adds fruity dimension and a lovely pink hue to this ginger beer and tequila cocktail from the 1940s.

This variation on the El Diablo swaps crème de cassis for black currant jam and earthy honey.

Martin Cate of Smuggler's Cove in San Francisco combines Chartreuse and ginger ale in this refreshing tropical drink.

Spiced rum and fiery ginger beer combine with tart cranberry juice in this flavorful cool-weather cocktail.

This sweet-tart wine punch was invented by members of the Junior League of Houston book club in the 1970s.

This chilled cider punch combines the fall flavors of a mulled cider with the celebratory feel of a sparkling punch.

Vodka, ginger beer, and muddled pear make for a tart and refreshing cocktail perfect for sipping on a cool fall evening.

This version of a classic tiki drink mixes two kinds of rum with a variety of fruit juices and syrups.

A twist on the British classic, this summer cooler takes on spicy, herbal notes from Kaffir lime leaves, while strawberries lend sweet balance to the pleasingly bitter liqueur. Get the recipe for Strawberry Pimm's Cup »

A mix of Campari, Pimm's No. 1, and ginger beer, this drink makes an excellent warm weather apéritif.

This recipe for a modified Dark and Stormy uses fresh ginger juice for a kick of refreshing heat.

This twist on a mojito combines pineapple- and coconut-infused rum with fresh pineapple and mint for a fruity, vacation-inspired drink.

Beer Sangria

The first cocktail ever invented was a beer cocktail. Although the term cocktail will need to be defined as “a beverage made by mixing two or more alcoholic liquids” to come to that conclusion, and legions of cocktail snobs will stand up to debate that with me, I firmly defend the beer cocktail as being the spark that ignited a cultural inferno.

It was the early 1600’s and rum had just been discovered on sugar cane plantations in the Caribbean, after what I’m assuming wasn’t much more than a school-yard dare, when workers decided to taste the fermented mixture of water and molasses. It was such an instant success it quickly became an accepted form of currency. Sailors where given a “rum ration” on long voyages (which gave rise to the popular parring of pirates and bottles or rum, yo-ho-ho). As a way to extend those ration they began to mix rum with beer, water, sugar and whatever else they could find. They called this charming mixture of beer, rum and whatever: Grog. Although the hangover inducing thought of that might not sound so appealing, it’s definitive proof that beer mixology isn’t a new phenomenon.

In fact, beer mixology predates liquor mixology.

At the time, it was out of necesity, beer was cheaper and more abundant than other liquors so it made economical sense. These days, craft beer has a database of flavors that no other liquor can touch. From caramel and molasses to grass and apricots, this is booze that makes sense to mix into your cocktails. Like Ashley, the Queen of Beer mixology, said, “It’s not about improving beer, it’s about improving the cocktail.”

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Yield: 4 servings

• 24 ounces summer style ale (see note)
• 1 cup peach nectar (I used Kerns)
• 2 ounces fresh lemon juice
• 2 ounces simple syrup
• 4 ounces Pisco Reservado
• 2 cups frozen peaches

1. In a large pitcher stir together the peach nectar, lemon juice, simple syrup and Pico. Add the peaches, serve immediately.

Beer: A lot of the new summer release beers will work really well for this, look for a beer with notes of citrus, apricots, peaches, or basil.

Pisco: Pisco Reservado is a liquor made in the winemaking regions of Peru and Chili, a brandy made from wine grapes. Most liquor store will carry it, call around to find some in your area.

Peaches: You can cut and freeze your own peaches or you can buy them frozen. Using frozen peaches instead of ice will help to avoid a watered down pitcher of booze.

I need like 3 of these. Please 🙂 They look wonderful! I’ve never even heard of Pisco Reservado but it sounds like I need to get familiar!

I love me a beer cocktail – From a humble shandy to a beer sangria, I’m in!

If I drank, I think I would love this!

Love it! I once made a beermosa for watching early football games O:-)

Totally gorgeous! I haven’t had near enough sangria this summer, either. That needs to change ASAP.

Very interesting history of beer mixology!

Yum! This looks amazing; I never would have thought to make sangria with beer, but this sounds like it’s totally delicious!

I don’t typically drink liquor so this is right up my alley–beer! Love it!

Hey I can’t wait to make this, but I have a random question, where did you buy those glasses?

I love those glasses! Intended for daiquiris, I believe. They came from Sur La Table.

No matter what the cocktail purists say, I say this Beer Sangria sounds phenomenal!
