Beer or Bubbly?
No need to choose between beer and champagne; both have their charm! Champagne is synonymous with celebrations, while beer has emerged as a trendy option, especially on warm days. Mimosas, made with champagne, are a brunch staple, but if you sometimes find bubbly a bit too heavy, a beermosa might just be the perfect alternative. Inspired by our experience at AEGIR Brewing Company in Elk River, we’ve been crafting beermosas ever since.
How to Make a Beermosa
Making a beermosa is simple and quick! The key is selecting the right beer. While you can use any beer you like, lighter and more neutral options tend to work best. Here are some great choices:
- Blue Moon
- Oberon
- Corona
- Spotted Cow
Proportions
For the perfect balance, we recommend a ratio of 2/3 beer to 1/3 orange juice. Some prefer a splash of orange juice with a full can of beer; feel free to adjust according to your taste!
Experimenting with Juices
While orange juice is the traditional choice, you can certainly experiment with other fruit juices. If you try something new, let us know how it goes!
Serving and Storage
Beermosas are best enjoyed fresh, as their carbonation diminishes after about two hours. If you’re hosting a gathering, consider making a large batch in a pitcher to serve your guests.
Fun Beermosa Tricks!
There are many ways to customize your beermosa:
- Garnishes: Add fresh herbs like rosemary or a slice of orange for extra flavor and color.
- Glassware: Serve in a stylish glass! While pint glasses work fine, using champagne flutes or stemless wine glasses can make your beermosa feel more festive.
- Fresh Juice: Freshly squeezed orange juice enhances the flavor. If you have the time, involve your guests in squeezing oranges and prepping ingredients!
- Slushie Twist: For a fun variation, freeze orange juice and blend it into a slushie for a beermosa slushie!
