A shot of Campari in an IPA can be quite tasty.

If shandys are ok then I’d have to suggest…

Black Velvet - 1/2 Guinness floated over 1/2 cider.

Dark and Stormy - Dark Rum with Ginger Beer and lime.

When my wife and I were watching ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ on Netflix last year, I invented a drink called the Sunnydale. It’s Sunny D and ale. It’s not bad, but you need to figure out a good ratio of Sunny D to ale. I finally found that 12 ounces of ale with one jigger of Sunny D was my sweet spot. My wife preferred a bit more Sunny D.

Sub sour mix for the Limeade and it’s a Speedy Gomez… They also usually add some sort of fruit schnapps to round out the flavor.
