asking because supermarket ran out of lemon soda.

I've never mixed both and I don't know if it's a good idea, due to taste and because apple juice doesn't have bubbles. Am I going to create a frankendrink?

Either 1:0 or 0:1, depending on my mood

[–] Brad@beehaw.org 1 points 4 weeks ago

This is the way.

Not sure whether Germany or Belgium will start the war first, but it sounds like a great way to waste both perfectly good apple juice and perfectly good beer

[–] whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

could be an American beer they are wasting apple juice in?

[–] sylver_dragon@lemmy.world 22 points 4 weeks ago

No need to add water to perfectly good apple juice.

I've never heard of mixing beer and apple juice. Beer and lemonade for a Shandy or radler, sure, but apple juice??

I know in Asia mixing beer with tomato juice is somewhat common, but apple? I dunno...

Mexico too, they call it a chelada.

But beer with apple juice?

[–] TheAlbatross@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

Is it just mixed with, like, V8? I tried that and didn't care for it. It seemed like it muted the flavor of both the tomato juice and the beer. Should I be using pure tomato juice and not a blend like V8?

Honestly I'm not a huge fan of it so I'm not entirely sure, but from what I understand it's regular tomato juice, beer, and then some folks will add spices like tajin and spice, and often lime. I'm more inclined to use clamato (tomato and clam juice cocktail), but then I'd just go ahead and make a bloody maria (tequila).

[–] TheAlbatross@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

The tajin and lime sound banging, miss me with the clam juice tho lmao

[–] bobs_monkey@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 weeks ago

Don't knock it till you try it! Tomato, splash of clam juice, quality tequila, cayenne pepper, regular pepper, celery salt, takin, and some veggies to munch on, it's delicious. The clam adds a good texture and bump of flavor, but I'm also all about seafood.

[–] GrantUsEyes@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

Oooff, the clam ties it all together. It's soooo good, great for hangovers too.

[–] Drewfro66@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 4 weeks ago

The Mexican section of your grocery store should have Clamato or other brands of Mexican tomato juice

Snake bite is half cider, half beer, splash of blackcurrant, if my memory serves me.

[–] sping@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 4 weeks ago

I remember it as just beer and cider, with the addition of blackcurrant making it a Purple Nasty, and all sorts of tales of how they allegedly reacted to make a vicious drink more than the sun of the parts that I am sure was fiction.

And for Americans, this means alcoholic ciders, since they also call raw apple juice cider, and most Americans have no idea what a blackcurrant is (a delicious intense berry that was illegal to cultivate in the US for a lot of the recent past).

No magic amount. Put a little of each in a small glass and see if the ratio works for you. By the third glass you’ll love any ratio.

[–] morphballganon@mtgzone.com 5 points 4 weeks ago

Sounds like a recipe for a headache.

[–] guy_threepwood@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago

I don’t know why you would want to do that? Just drink less beer?

[–] 404@lemmy.zip 4 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Just mix to taste, you'll be fine.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 13 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Just mix to taste…

Or lack of.

[–] TheAlbatross@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

This post got me thinking, tho, how bout a boiler maker with applejack or apple brandy? I could see that working

[–] IWW4@lemmy.zip 4 points 4 weeks ago

You don’t mix that.. yuck.

[–] bobo@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 weeks ago

lemon soda

How bout you squeeze a lemon and mix the juice with soda water?

[–] nocturne@piefed.social 2 points 4 weeks ago

Step one: pour beer down the drain
Step two: enjoy some apple juice
Step three: have a huge glass of water

[–] Apeman42@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

I've never heard of this. But, when making the classic Brass Monkey you drink (or pour out for the homies) the Old E down to the top of the label, then refill with OJ. So maybe like a 1:5, 1:6 ratio, if that helps?
