Hyper Snakebite
Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.81 / 5
The Hyper Snakebite is a riff on the classic British drink known as a Snakebite, which traditionally combines equal parts lager and cider. In this more potent variation, the drink is enhanced with the addition of vodka and blackcurrant cordial, creating a richer, fruitier profile. The inclusion of Aftershock (Black), a spicy and cool-tasting liqueur, introduces an unexpected twist of bold flavors that complements the tangy mix of beer and fruity sweetness. Served in a pint glass, the Hyper Snakebite is a full-sized beverage that is both refreshing and strong, catering to those who enjoy a fruit-forward drink with a substantial kick.

FAQ's

Ingredient substitutions icon

Can I substitute any ingredient in the Hyper Snakebite cocktail for something else?

Yes, you can substitute ingredients in the Hyper Snakebite to suit your taste or availability. For a less intense version, consider replacing Aftershock (Black) with a milder blackcurrant liqueur.

What is the best way to serve a Hyper Snakebite?

The Hyper Snakebite should be served cold in a pint glass. For the best experience, ensure that the cider, lager, and vodka are chilled before mixing. Do not shake or stir the mixture vigorously; gently combine to preserve the carbonation of the cider and lager.
