Think of this beer cocktail as a variation on the mimosa, but full of fresh and tangy flavor from grapefruit juice and hoppy IPA. At Southpaw BBQ, Edward Calhoun uses Ninkasi Tricerahops for the beer base, but feel free to experiment with any hoppy IPA or double IPA.

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces chilled IPA or Double IPA (such as Ninkasi Tricerahops)
  • 3 ounces (6 tablespoons) freshly squeezed juice from 1 to 2 grapefruits
  • Garnish: grapefruit twist

Directions

  1. 1.

    Pour IPA into serving glass. Add grapefruit juice and stir very gently. Serve immediately, garnished with a grapefruit twist.
