Ingredients For This Summer Beer Recipe
- Frozen Lemonade – We used frozen lemonade concentrate, but fresh lemonade would also work here.
- Gluten Free Vodka – Most vodkas, even made from wheat, barley, and rye are still considered gluten free because of the distillation process. Some people still claim discomfort when enjoying these types. So to be on the safe side, you might want to choose a vodka that is made from gluten free foods – like potatoes. Here is a gluten free vodka list to check out if you need some help.
- Gluten Free Beer – gluten free beersYou can use regular beer that’s not gluten free if gluten isn’t a concern. But here are some to check out!

What’s The Best Beer To Use For Summer Beer?
We used a gluten free beer, but in general I recommend using a lighter beer that isn’t full of other flavors and overpowers.
Can I Use Pink Lemonade Instead?
Absolutely! That would be delicious! Or even a limeade would be great as well.
How Strong Is Summer Beer?
You can adjust how strong this drink is to your liking. If you want it strong, just add more beer or vodka. Or if you want to tone it down, add more lemonade.
Summer Beer Variations:
- Switch up the lemonade. Try pink lemonade. Or limeade!
- Change the citrus. We used lime, but orange or lemon works as well.
