Equipment

  • Shaker
  • Strainer

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ounces Bourbon
  • 1 ounce Fresh lemon juice
  • 3/4 ounce Honey syrup equal parts honey and hot water, stirred and cooled
  • 2 ounces Ginger ale
  • Egg white optional, but recommended for foaminess and beer-like appearance
  • Lemon wedge For optional garnish

Instructions
 

  • In a shaker, combine bourbon, lemon juice, honey syrup, and egg white (optional).
  • Shake vigorously without ice for about 20 seconds (dry shake).
  • Add ice to the shaker, and shake again until very cold (about 15 seconds).
  • Strain the cocktail into a beer pint glass, filling about ¾ full.
  • Gently top with sparkling apple cider or ginger ale to create a convincing "beer" look.
  • Allow foam to settle naturally on top.
  • Add a lemon wedge on the rim to mimic a casual beer garnish.

Serve and enjoy the amused reactions as friends taste this cocktail disguised as a refreshing pint of beer.
