Jake's Lager Shandy

Jake's with Leinies Honeyweiss
Most ginger beers are a bummer, but you can
add Jake's to almost any beer and turn it into
ginger beer that really gets down to business. 
My favorite ginger beer concoction is a splash
of Jake's in Leinenkugel's HoneyWiess.  The
perfect blend of beer, honey, ginger and lemon.

Recipe:
Start with a bottle of your favorite beer.
(Leinie's Honeyweiss is best, because it's made with honey and
the ginger, lemon and honey combination is terrific!)
Then add:
1 shot of Jake's StrongGinger™ Ginger Juice

THE CARBOY

elderberry ginger cocktail

Jake and his best friend Tom Thomas used to go elderberry picking in western Sheboygan County.  Elderberry wine was a fall tradition. One winter, after the fermenting was done, Tom set the freshly fermented glass carboy of wine on the basement floor and the bottom broke out. They'd spent monthly waiting for that wine and much to their chagrin, it was lost it in a moment. This healing cocktail is a wonderful immunity booster and a tribute to Jake and Tom! 

Recipe:
Start with 4 ounces of Elderberry Juice

Then add: 
2+ shots of Jake's StrongGinger™ Ginger Juice
2+ shots of pomegranate juice
2+ shots of Savignon Blanc 
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla
Garnish with mint and blackberries

To extend the recipe, mix with 8oz of water for a delightful tea, hot or over ice.
