Shot and a Beer

A popular combo we’re seeing making a return has been the “Shot and a Beer.”

Watch the video above as BourbonBlog.com‘s Tom Fischer interviews Drambuie National Brand Ambassador Anthony Caporale about the revival of the shot and the beer.

We talk with Anthony at t the Tales of the Cocktail event celebrating “Shot and a Beer.”

Anthony tells us he has invented the “Rusty Ale” which is take on the classic Scotch Rusty Nail cocktail.

For this event, Anthony pours a shot of Drambuie Liqueur and tops it in a pint glass with the Shiner Ruby Redbird.

At this event, each participating spirit is featured next to a craft brew to pair their shot with making riffs on the Boilermaker and other cocktails.
