His next wish was to have a 10-foot long Twix – which was much better. His 3rd wish was to be the founder of the Beer Cocktail – something we can all appreciate nowadays. Cheers lad.
Hoptails were a big favourite of Midas, who loved popping a bit of wine and a bit of mead into his beer to create a lovely tipple which was perfect for walking around in the olden days, riding around on a sabretooth tiger and fighting pterodactyls.
Looking to bring this trend back, Budweiser Budvar invited six of the best bartenders around the UK to create a completely original beer cocktail using Budweiser Budvar. There were no constraints; with only thing uniting them is that they start with a base of a lovely bit of beer.
Now the final cocktail is available at Cane & Grain from Thursday 8th March, and it looks like a beauty. Teaming up with Science & Industry’s mixologist Jack Barrott, the Czech Mate takes inspiration from a crisp, chilly winter; the tastes and smells, and the feeling of gathering with your mates somewhere cosy. It’s smoky, sweet, seductive and spicy, and perfect for a winter’s evening.
The cocktail looks fantastic, with a mixture of gin, Mancino Rosso, rhubarb and ginger cordial, grilled banana syrup and of course, Budweiser Budvar to top. It’s available from Thursday 8th March for a month – so don’t bloody miss it!
