“RAISE YOUR GLASS” RASPBERRY BEER COCKTAIL

This light cocktail just might change the minds of your friends who don’t typically like beer. The raspberries and lime juice add a crisp, fruity flavor while the ginger ale sweetens and carbonates the beverage. A cool glass of this concoction is just what you need at a warm summer picnic.

⅓ cup fresh lime juice

1 cup fresh raspberries (about 6 ounces)

4 (12-ounce) light beers

4 cups ginger ale

Combine the lime juice and raspberries in a pitcher and muddle together with a wooden spoon. Slowly pour the beer and ginger ale into the pitcher so that the fizz stays at a minimum. Stir gently, and serve the drink chilled.

MAKES 4 TO 5 SERVINGS.

TIP: Keep this drink in a sealable pitcher and store it in a cooler to keep the drink cold outdoors.
