As we get come together with friends and family on Mother’s Day to celebrate those special figures in our life, here are 8 of our favorite beermosas and cocktail recipes to make the moment a little bit sweeter.
Oberon Beermosa
Ingredients
- Oberon
- Sparkling White Wine
- Orange Juice
Instructions
Mix: 25% sparkling white wine, 15% orange juice, 60% Oberon. Use a mint leaf and/or an orange as garnish
Notes
From our experience, we’ve found it works best to pour the sparkling white wine first, then the orange juice and top it off with Oberon. Make sure to pour slowly to avoid making a mess. We’ve also found using fresh-squeezed orange juice tastes best, but you can use whatever juice you prefer.

- Stir and pour over ice
- Lace the glass with Grenadine
- Garnish
- Cheers and Enjoy!
Oberon on the Rocks
This one is simple: freeze Tropical Oberon in ice cube trays. Silicon trays work good since the beer won’t freeze solid like water but be more of icy chunks. Also, because of the alcohol, it takes longer to freeze than water.
Fill a glass with the Tropical Oberon cubes, top with Oberon.
Enjoy! Perfect for a hot, sunny day!
Porter Cooler
Same as Oberon on the Rocks, adding beer ice cubes to our Porter can be great!
Stout Ice Cubes
- For the stout ice cubes, use silicone ice trays as it’s easier to pop them out. Our Kalamazoo Stout is 6% ABV and can freeze, but it takes a good 12-24 hours to get it good and solid. The cubes can still be a little crystal-y but still works
- When you make them, let the carbonation settle down in a separate measuring cup for a bit to make it easy.
The Drink
- Fill up a 20 oz. nonic glass with the stout ice cubes and slowly pour the Porter. On a hot day, this keeps the porter nice and refreshing. And as you drink it, everything gets a little darker and stronger!
Add some fruit
- How could you have a cooler without some fruit? The Porter Cooler with raspberries and it’s delicious. What I’ve done is mash up the raspberries in a strainer, and then pour the porter over them (like pour-over coffee, but a pour-over Porter). You could experiment with other fruit such as oranges and cherries.
