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 . . .

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!
