asking because supermarket ran out of lemon soda.

I've never mixed both and I don't know if it's a good idea, due to taste and because apple juice doesn't have bubbles. Am I going to create a frankendrink?

Snake bite is half cider, half beer, splash of blackcurrant, if my memory serves me.

I'm from amerikkka, so I can't talk too much shit, but an apple juice raddler sounds awful.

Did they have grapefruit soda or something else like it?

Not sure whether Germany or Belgium will start the war first, but it sounds like a great way to waste both perfectly good apple juice and perfectly good beer

[-] whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 hours ago

could be an American beer they are wasting apple juice in?

[-] sylver_dragon@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

No need to add water to perfectly good apple juice.

I've never heard of mixing beer and apple juice. Beer and lemonade for a Shandy or radler, sure, but apple juice??

I know in Asia mixing beer with tomato juice is somewhat common, but apple? I dunno...

Mexico too, they call it a chelada.

But beer with apple juice?

[-] TheAlbatross@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 hours ago

Is it just mixed with, like, V8? I tried that and didn't care for it. It seemed like it muted the flavor of both the tomato juice and the beer. Should I be using pure tomato juice and not a blend like V8?

Honestly I'm not a huge fan of it so I'm not entirely sure, but from what I understand it's regular tomato juice, beer, and then some folks will add spices like tajin and spice, and often lime. I'm more inclined to use clamato (tomato and clam juice cocktail), but then I'd just go ahead and make a bloody maria (tequila).

[-] TheAlbatross@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 hours ago

The tajin and lime sound banging, miss me with the clam juice tho lmao

Step one: pour beer down the drain
Step two: enjoy some apple juice
Step three: have a huge glass of water

[-] IWW4@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 hours ago

You don’t mix that.. yuck.

[-] Apeman42@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

I've never heard of this. But, when making the classic Brass Monkey you drink (or pour out for the homies) the Old E down to the top of the label, then refill with OJ. So maybe like a 1:5, 1:6 ratio, if that helps?

[-] venusaur@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

No magic amount. Put a little of each in a small glass and see if the ratio works for you. By the third glass you’ll love any ratio.

[-] 404@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 hours ago

Just mix to taste, you'll be fine.

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 7 points 3 hours ago

Just mix to taste…

Or lack of.

This post got me thinking, tho, how bout a boiler maker with applejack or apple brandy? I could see that working

[-] guy_threepwood@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

I don’t know why you would want to do that? Just drink less beer?
