"The Monaco"

[BinkieBaumont]

"As part of my New Years resolution I have vowed not to purchase, and consume so much champagne, I have found this recipe for a "Monaco" as an alternative, still as refreshing but saving the pounds, both Sterling and Avoir Dupois"


Monaco Recipe

1 splash grenadine syrup
2/3 glass Low Carb beer ( such as pure Blonde)
1/3 glass Low carb Lemon soda ( such as "Solo"

Pour grenadine syrup into a collins glass filled with ice cubes. Add the beer and Lemon soda and stir well."

I've never made any cocktail with beer, what is this like?

 

[Methuselah]

beer cocktail = shandy ???

or what about snakebite and black?

 

[Ethan Bentley]

Oh yes, I had overlooked those. They don't spring to my mind as cocktails but that is neither here nor there.
I've not had snakebite in years.

 

[Methuselah]

Shandy is best forgotten, I was mostly being daft.
I'm interested in this Monaco recipe though, it won't hurt to try - in the 2 days of annnual summer that we get over here it may go down well.

I don't think it has a name, I call it an abomination!
She is Italian though...
(as if that explains everything)
