    Fancy, Refreshing Beer Cocktail

    Beer "cocktail"!  What?!

    Sounds funny, but this beverage is so refreshing and thirst-quenching!

    Just what you all need to sip on while you're rooting for your favorite team this Sunday . . .
    Yes! You can have it all with this Citrus Beer Cocktail -- rum, fresh citrus, a bit of simple syrup and topped with beer. Score! | The Recipe Wench

    I enjoy beer.  I really do.

    But sometimes I just want to get fancy.  

    Know what I'm talking about?

    Well, this is the perfect cocktail for fancy beer drinking.

    Start with a little rum, add some fresh citrus juices and simple syrup.  Then top it all off with ice cold beer.

    Stick a straw in it and you are good to go!

    I've tried this cocktail with lemon juice and also with lime juice.

    Both are very good -- the lime is a bit sweeter, but I wouldn't turn either of them down!

    Enjoy! - The Recipe Wench
