| "Here and There" by Clay Moore and Jay Silvers Our best tips on making a beer cocktail - 1. Use the right brew -nothing fancy,we typically go for lagers such as Miller High Life or a (gasp) Budweiser. 2. Follow the recipe — and your tastebuds. We typically use 10 ounces of beer — a bottle with some poured / sipped out — plus whatever else is called for. 3. Keep it balanced. Don’t let one flavor dominate. A good cocktail is a balanced cocktail, whether you’re talking beer cocktails or not Here are two of our favorite beer cocktail recipes. - Orangina: 2 oz. fresh orange juice, 1 oz. gin, American lager (such as Miller High Life), Orange wheel for serving. Merry Margarita - 1.5 oz Tequila,, .5 oz Cointreau, .5 oz Simple syrup (one part sugar, one part water mixed together), .5 to .75 oz Fresh lime juice (to taste) 3 oz Beer (Bud Light or Corona), Garnish: Lime wedge.

But you can also alcohol by weight as a measurement. A 3.2% alcohol by weight equals 3.2 grams of alcohol per 100 centiliters of beer. (It is approximately 20% less than alcohol by volume.) So a beer with 4%ABW is about 5% ABV.
