Snakebite Shandy Dressed-Up
- 8 ounces Perry Hard Cider, chilled
- 8 ounces Corona Extra lager beer, chilled
- 1 or 2 tablespoons vanilla-lime simple syrup
- 2 teaspoons or more Pear brandy or liqueur (I used Xante Pear brandy)
- About 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lime juice or to taste
- To make the vanilla-lime simple syrup: In a medium sauce pan over medium heat cook 1 cup water, 1 cup organic sugar,1 vanilla bean and 4 strips of lime peel (white pith removed completely) for 10 minutes. Reduce to a simmer and cook 20 more minutes. Strain the syrup through a fine sift and then set aside to cool.
- When ready to serve or enjoy by yourself; drop a few dried or fresh berries into the bottom of a chilled glass, top with vanilla-lime simple syrup,lime juice and pear brandy; then pour the cider and beer. Garnish with a slice of pear and a slice of lime. Enjoy your drink and the Holidays!
