  • Used 21st Amendment's Tasty IPA, slightly more tequila than campari, and a salted rim. Fantastic
  • Tasty but very high calorie!
  • Very good. I prefer 1.5 oz tequila, 0.75 oz lime, 3/8 oz agave nectar, 0.5 oz Campari, 4 oz IPA, orange peel.

Quite a boozy delight.  I really enjoyed this despite the fact that I had the wrong beer on hand (a carmelly lager instead of a crisp dry IPA).  Will try again with the correct beer. 

nwelch3 commented on 6/05/2021:

Love the original, but I make a low ABV version of this with Giffard Apertif syrup (instead of Campari) and Athletic's Run Wild IPA (both non-alcoholic). Keep the tequila for what results in something with about as much alcohol as a radler.

illusionistlynx commented on 3/22/2025:

I like the combination of flavors - Campari + IPA is a keeper. However, I prefer this one a bit stiffer. At 8 oz of IPA you start to lose the other flavors. Depending on the IPA and its IBU rating, I would use 6 oz max. Tested with both 4 oz and 6 oz which were both more enjoyable to me, but the original is still quite tasty.

haresfur commented on 6/02/2025:

This is nearly identical to "End of Days" with the exception of agave syrup vs demerara syrup and the amount of IPA (8 oz vs 1 oz). I took the suggestion in a previous comment and went with 6 oz, which seemed about right.

Agree that this is more of a summer drink

Used Astral tequila and Amer dit Picon from Golden Moon. It's way less sugary than Amer Picon (so I've read) so I added two barspoons of simple. Liked a lot, might do 1/2 Amer next time.
