IPA Guacamole
Adding some beer flavor to your next fiesta just got easier. Grab your favorite high-hopped beer and make sure to enjoy this chips, loud music, and lots of friends. This is a great recipe for a double-hopped IPA. Because a small amount of beer is called for, you need one that packs a punch – the more hops the better.
3 cups avocado flesh (about 4 large avocados)
1 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
½ tsp chili powder
½ tsp garlic powder
¼ cup IPA beer
½ cup red onion, chopped
1/3 cup diced tomatoes
½ tsp salt
3 tbls cilantro, chopped
1 jalapeño, stemmed, seeded, and chopped (about 2 1/2 tbls)
Add all ingredients to a bowl and mash.
Chocolate-chip Stout Milk Shake
Here an old-fashion malt shop meets a pub favorite. The cold ice cream makes this a great dessert for summer, but the rich stout lets you know you can drink it all year long.
3 cups vanilla ice cream
1 cup dark chocolate chips
1 cup chocolate stout (If you want to mix it up a bit, you can try a bourbon barrel aged-stout or for a new twist even a smoky porter,)
Add all ingredients to a blender, blend until combined, and serve immediately.
