If you've never ventured into the world of beer cocktails, the Reality Check is a great place to start. Fresh raspberries are muddled with vodka, lime juice, Angostura bitters, and Becherovka, the iconic Czech herbal liqueur that gives the drink its signature bittersweet, botanical character. Finished with a splash of crisp pilsner, the result is fruity, lightly herbal, and incredibly refreshing.
It's the perfect cocktail for our Hybrid Cocktail Shaker and Hybrid Pint Glass. Muddle raspberries directly in the shaker, chill the removable pint glass insert in the freezer beforehand, and enjoy an ice-cold drink that stays colder, longer thanks to the insulated base.
Don't have Becherovka? Bénédictine, Green Chartreuse, or another herbal liqueur all make excellent substitutes. Each brings its own personality to the drink while preserving the bright, refreshing character that makes the Reality Check such a standout.
