Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Beer (your choice, typically a lager or light ale)
- 1.5 oz Whiskey (your choice)
Instructions
1. Choose your beer: Traditionally, a light lager or ale is used, but you can experiment with different styles to find your preferred flavor profile.
2. Select your whiskey: A smooth bourbon or blended whiskey often works best, but feel free to use your favorite.
3. Pour the beer into a tall glass, ensuring there’s enough room at the top to prevent spillage if you decide to drop the shot glass in.
4. Measure and pour 1.5 ounces of whiskey into a shot glass.
5. Serve the beer and whiskey together. Drinkers can choose one of three methods: sip the whiskey followed by the beer, sip them alternately, or drop the shot glass into the beer and drink it all in one go (commonly known as a “depth charge”).
6. Enjoy responsibly!
