Badger Ales launches beer cocktail range

Mixologist Nick Strangeway has created a range of beer cocktails for Badger Ales, using gin, bourbon, tequila and absinthe.

The cocktails, which are “historically inspired but with a modern twist”, have been launched to appeal to current beer drinkers and promote beer to those who are not already enjoying it. Beer has been used as the base in cocktails since the 16th century.

Brand marketing manager at Badger Anna Corbett said: "The beer cocktails that Nick and his team have created for Badger are outstanding. We approached Nick as we wanted to develop a series of beer cocktails using history as our inspiration but with a relevant and contemporary approach, whilst working with on-trend brands and ingredients.

"They have surpassed our expectations creating a series of cocktails through extensive experimentation and tasting sessions which will appeal to beer drinks and non-beer drinkers alike."

Badger Ales are brewed by family brewer Hall & Woodhouse.
