Hop on hoptails! Beer cocktail recipes to add some zing to your brews
Nothing hits like a freshly popped bottle of beer — except for these smartly concocted curations!
Celine Song's Materialists, especially with its lukewarm reception, is a thing of the past. But Dakota Johnson's Lucy Mason nonchalantly asking for a coke and beer, and Chris Evans' John Pitt promptly showing up with a popped coke bottle and a half-filled beer glass was easily one of the smoothest scenes to come out of Hollywood this year.
In a past chat with GQ, Celine revealed that in a quest to make Lucy's character unique, she found herself googling 'weird drinks' and opted for one of the first options that popped up — coke and beer to be exact. Now if you're among those who scrunched their faces when Lucy ordered her hoptail fix, we have news.
Hoptails — or beer cocktails for the uninitiated — are having a moment. And we have just the curation of concoctions to get you HOOKED.
