How to make mojito with beer: Step by step

If you are one of those people who finds it hard to be separated from a beer even for a day, we bring you this delicious version of one of the most popular cocktails of the summer with beer as the main ingredient: we are referring to the mojito with beer.

It is very easy to prepare and does not require any special instrument for preparing cocktails. Just gather the ingredients and follow the steps below. What’s more, you can give your personal touch to the combination by choosing one or another beer depending on your taste.

Option 1: if  you don’t want your cocktail to lose too much of its original flavour but want to include your usual beer, choose a lager with moderate alcohol strength (below 6%).

Option 2: if you prefer to enhance the citrus and fruity aromas of your mojito, use an IPA-style beer, making sure that it is not too alcoholic or too toasted.

Option 3: Who said anything about being afraid? If you are one of those people who likes to try everything, surprise everyone and yourself with daring combinations. We invite you to use a dark beer like porter, stout or dunkel. The result won’t leave you indifferent.
