Hot Beer Cocktail

2 servings

15 minutes

Hot beer cocktail is a fragrant warming drink from Germany. This cocktail is perfect for cold evenings, combining the tenderness of egg yolks, sweetness of sugar, and the spicy aroma of cinnamon, cloves, and lemon zest. Heating the beer gives it softness and makes it a pleasant base for a thick, velvety drink. It's important not to boil it after adding the yolks to maintain its delicate consistency. The drink can be sweetened with honey for a deeper flavor.
