When it’s really hot outside, or I’ve come home to a steamy house on a summer night, I occasionally like a beer on ice. That’s what a Foxtail is; a cold beer poured over ice with a long twist or “tail” of orange or lemon peel as garnish. The oil in the citrus peel does add a little snap to the flavor plus just the smell of the fruit skin adds to the overall cool down experienced.

Here we go –
Wait for a 90+-degree day or night, crack a beer (lager is the best), and pour it over cracked ice in a tall glass. Add the peel, then stand in front of an air conditioner.

Beer.
