A very useful tip for those who love beer but want to maintain their figure.
“I came across beer with lemon by chance one evening when I was trying to cut the amount of alcohol in half. But little did I imagine that my experiment would lead to the discovery of a permanently pleasant and refreshing drink!”
Beer with lemon
“Once I was invited to play at a party. I knew that if I started drinking my favorite yellow tequila at ten in the evening it wouldn’t work for me. I had to be there until the early hours when the last guests left. In an effort to cut the alcohol in half I took a large glass, added two slices of lemon to it, filled it halfway with ice cubes and topped it up with beer.
And although I expected that what I would be drinking would feel like diluted beer, with the first sip I tasted the excellent combination of icy beer and lemon. Even stranger was that over time this taste grew stronger and became more pleasant.
Each time the level dropped by a third I refilled the glass with beer from the bottle. Normally when you pour beer from a bottle it warms up after 10-15 minutes, but my glass kept the lemon beer fresh and cold even after half an hour.
Lemon beer quenches thirst
“Usually after 2-3 small bottles of beer I felt my mouth drying out. In contrast, with lemon beer and ice cubes I always felt my mouth cool without having the slightest sense of thirst. The saying “one taste will convince you” truly applies here. It convinced many friends who have since stayed up late with me.”
This “cocktail” has even been christened
This cocktail from that night was christened by its creator DJ StarvaG as the StarvaG Beer Cocktail. The name is trademark protected from the first edition of the book Šéfkuchař. In Greece it spread mainly during the summer months and was copied by a well-known company that bottles beer.
Beer is best drunk outside of meals and precisely in this way. Its high water content dilutes the digestive fluids in the stomach, makes digestion more difficult and has the dramatic consequence of stretching the stomach muscles. The result is bloating and an unsightly belly.
If you want something to drink with your food, it’s better to have a small sip or two of wine or another spirit, diluted with a little ice. Even better, of course, is chilled iced tea with a slice of lemon.
