Tailgating Recipe: The Beermosa

The mimosa is an early game tailgating standard. It and the Bloody Mary are the dynamic duo of pregame morning boozing. Breaking out the booze at 7:30 in the morning isn’t always the easiest thing to do, but there is something about mixing it with orange juice or tomato juice that makes it much more manageable. The Bloody Mary is another post in its self, so lets talk more about the mimosa. The mix of champagne and beer is a great combination, but the problem for tailgating is the champagne.

Sometimes you

A) forget it

B) don’t have room for it

or

C) don’t really want to spend the money on it when you are the only one in the group who like mimosas.

Here is my solution. My I introduce the Beermosa.

I suggest replacing the champagne with something readily available at a tailgate, BEER. A beermosa can be made with any light beer commonly found at a tailgate (Bud Light, Coors Light, Miller Lite, and work)

Personally I like merging my beermosa with a screwdriver and adding a shot of orange flavored vodka. That is completely up to you. Here is a video showing you how easy the beermosa is to make.

For your first time making a beermosa I suggest a 50/50 ratio of beer and OJ. Everyone has  different tastes, so you can adjust the amounts to suit your tastes. As you can see in the video, I like to go for about a 65/35 mix.

If you have never tasted experienced the beermosa, you are probably thinking 1 of 2 things.

A) That sounds amazing, I have to try it!

or

B) Gross, why would you drink that!

All I can say is give it a try! At a morning tailgate you most likely have beer, vodka, and orange juice on hand, so no excuses. Grab a cup and try it!
