Black Raspberry (part II)

A little bit ago I posted the black raspberry - a drink featuring framboise lambic and Guinness. I just wanted to post a quick note saying we made these again, this time using the Lindeman's lambic. It was much better with the Lindeman's (not that it was bad with the other brand), so if you decide to make them yourself, it is worth going with the sweeter lambic.

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...
