Snakebite

Snakebite is a cocktail made from beer and hard cider.

The basic snakebite is a mixture of equal parts of lager beer and cider, typically served in pint or half-pint servings. To make a snakebite and black, you first add a shot of blackcurrant cordial (crème de cassis) before mixing in the beer and cider.

More pleasant variations can be made by using Benedictine or green Chartreuse[?] liqueurs instead of the crème de cassis.
