Red Beer Cocktail made with beer & V8 JuiceThe spicy red beer is a great cocktail to enjoy for just about any occasion. We first tried these when we were living in Wyoming and recently remembered how much we enjoy them.A Lemon Shandy is another easy beer cocktail to try.

What Beer Do You Use for Red Beer:

We used Bud Light, Pacifico is great for a Mexican Red Beer or use any pale lager that you prefer. 

Tomato Juice or V8 Juice for Red Beer:

You can use either tomato juice or V8 Juice for red beer. You can make it as spicy as you like with hot sauce or skip the hot sauce, easy to customize to your liking. 

Appetizers to Serve with Red Beer:

Easy Bacon Stuffed Mushrooms are a classic and the salty bacon is the perfect pairing with Red Beer. Southern Fried Shrimp is one of my favorites with a crispy coating spiced with Old Bay Seasoning. Fried Pickles are a crowd favorite and so easy to make!
