You need the right gin and IPA to make this one work, as from my testing it's actually pretty easy to just lose the gin completely. Will try messing the ratios on this one and try a few different gins. The flavors definitely work well together though.

End of Days

3⁄4 oz Blanco tequila
3⁄4 oz Campari
3⁄4 oz Lime juice
1⁄2 oz Demerara syrup (1:1)
1 oz India Pale Ale
Instructions

Shake all ingredients except IPA with ice and strain into an glass with ice. Top with IPA

Notes

Similar recipe posted on craftedpours.com for a cocktail called IPA Sunrise with different proportions producing a very different drink. Both good! I tried this with a reposado tequila, 2:1 simple syrup and a monster IPA (Lagunitas Maximus) and it was delicious!

This was such a fun brunch drink to offer with a horrible pour cost. Yes, towards the end when it was leaving the menu in a few weeks, we muddled Cocoa Puffs to order.
