Black Raspberry

Two weeks ago, Z had a work-related event at the Winking Lizard, and at it, she discovered a drink on their menu - the black raspberry. A black raspberry is basically a black and tan except in place of the Bass is a framboise lambic (a beer fermented with raspberries). At the Winking Lizzard, it is Lindeman's lambic, but Grapes of Mirth was out of their framboise, so I got another brand (which I liked just as much, although Z likes Lindeman's better because it is sweeter). To make the drink, I filled a pint glass half full with lambic and then, pouring the Guinness over the back of a spoon to prevent mixing, I layered the Guinness on top of the lambic. You can't see too well in this picture, because both of the beverages are relatively dark, but I was successful at creating the layered look (at least when held up to the light).


The drink turned out very well, and we've since bought a bottle of Lindeman's Framboise to help finish off the supply of Guinness with more of the same...
