Ingredients
Instructions
- Fill a tall glass to the 3/4 mark with beer.
- Add an egg to the glass.
- Beat the egg with a fork until well mixed.
- Serve immediately as a gold-colored, bland drink.
Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother texture, use a light beer rather than a dark one. If you're concerned about the raw egg, try pasteurized eggs for safety. To enhance flavor, consider adding a pinch of salt or a splash of hot sauce. This drink is best served fresh; avoid letting it sit too long as the egg may separate.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this drink chilled in a tall glass for the best experience. It pairs well with light snacks such as pretzels or popcorn for a casual gathering. For a sweet treat, consider serving alongside Aunt Mamie'S Oatmeal Cookies to balance the drink's blandness.
Storage & Reheating
This drink is best enjoyed immediately and does not store well due to the raw egg. If you have leftovers, refrigerate them for no more than a couple of hours. However, it is not recommended to reheat or store this mixture as the texture and flavor diminish significantly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use any type of beer for this recipe?
Yes, while any beer can work, lighter beers such as lagers or pilsners provide a more pleasant flavor. Dark beers may overpower the taste of the egg, making it less enjoyable.
Is it safe to drink raw eggs?
Drinking raw eggs carries a risk of salmonella. To minimize this risk, use pasteurized eggs, which have been heat-treated to kill bacteria without cooking the egg.
What can I add to enhance the flavor?
Consider adding a squeeze of lemon or lime juice, or even a dash of Worcestershire sauce for a zesty kick. These additions can elevate the drink, making it more enjoyable.
