The Turbo Diesel is a robust, high-volume cocktail that merges the crisp and fruity notes of cider with the malty and carbonated profile of lager, and a fortifying shot of vodka for an extra kick. Served in a classic pint glass, this cocktail offers a straightforward and potent drinking experience, often enjoyed for its simplicity and the unique combination of a mixed beer and spirits drink.
Its flavor profile can be heavy for some, as the combination of lager and cider may offer a distinctive taste that varies depending on the brands and types of cider and lager used.

FAQ's
What is the ideal way to serve a Turbo Diesel?
The ideal way to serve a Turbo Diesel cocktail is cold, in a pint glass, without shaking or stirring. The ingredients should be added in the order listed, starting with vodka, followed by cider, and topped off with lager to mix them gently. Serve immediately after preparation to enjoy its unique flavor.
How does the alcohol content in Turbo Diesel compare to a standard beer?
With an alcohol content of 6.81%, Turbo Diesel has a slightly higher alcohol content than most standard beers, which typically range from 4% to 6% alcohol by volume (ABV). This makes Turbo Diesel a stronger option for those looking for a drink with a bit more potency than regular beer.
Can I substitute any ingredients in a Turbo Diesel if I don't have cider or lager?
While the classic Turbo Diesel cocktail primarily relies on its unique combination of vodka, cider, and lager, substitutions are possible if necessary. If you don’t have cider, a sweet sparkling wine or apple juice can mimic its fruity sweetness. For lager, a light ale can work, though the flavor profile will slightly change. Remember, substitutions could alter the original taste and alcohol content of the drink.
What occasions are best suited for serving Turbo Diesel?
Turbo Diesel, with its unique mix and relatively high alcohol content, is perfect for casual gatherings, barbecues, or as a conversation starter at parties. Its distinct taste and powerful combination make it ideally suited for adults looking for something different from the usual beer or cocktail offerings.
Is Turbo Diesel suitable for gluten-free diets?
Turbo Diesel might not be suitable for individuals on a strict gluten-free diet due to the presence of lager, which is typically made from barley, a source of gluten. However, gluten-free versions of the beer and cider used in the cocktail can be used as substitutes for those who wish to enjoy a similar drink without gluten.
