Snake Bite

Snake Bite cocktail

A classic British pub staple known for its refreshing taste and deceptive potency. This simple two-ingredient cocktail blends equal parts lager and hard cider, resulting in a crisp drink that balances the bitterness of the beer with the sweetness of the cider. Often accompanied by a dash of blackcurrant cordial (Snakebite and Black), the traditional version remains a purist's favorite.
