Description
A bold, vibrant Purple Beer Cocktail that combines crisp light beer with rich berry liqueur and a splash of citrus fizz. This refreshing, easy-to-make drink is a total showstopper—perfect for summer parties, backyard BBQs, or when you just want to shake up your beer routine. Bright, fizzy, and anything but boring!
Ingredients
12 oz light lager or wheat beer, chilled (like Blue Moon, Corona, or Modelo)
1½ oz blueberry or blackberry liqueur (Chambord, Bols, or similar)
1 oz lemon-lime soda or sparkling water (for fizz + brightness)
Ice cubes (optional, if serving in a glass)
Lemon slice or wheel, for garnish
Instructions
Chill all your ingredients before starting—this drink is best served icy cold.
In a tall beer glass, pour in the berry liqueur first to create that rich purple base.
Slowly top with the chilled beer, pouring it down the side of the glass to reduce foam and preserve the color layers.
Add a splash of lemon-lime soda or sparkling water to brighten everything up.
Optional: Add a few ice cubes if you’re serving in a glass (skip if serving straight from the bottle).
Garnish with a lemon slice on the rim and serve immediately.
Notes
Prefer less sweetness? Use sparkling water instead of soda.
No berry liqueur? Substitute with crème de cassis, raspberry liqueur, or a mix of berry syrup and vodka.
Want to prep ahead? Mix the liqueur and soda in advance and store it chilled. Add beer just before serving for max fizz.
For a crowd, scale up and serve from a pitcher—just be sure to add the beer last to keep things bubbly!
Pair with grilled food, cheese boards, or spicy snacks for the perfect flavor match.
