While we love a cold craft brew in our Hybrid Pint Glass, we also love the opportunity to shake up a delicious beer cocktail.
Created in 2013 by Simone Caporale at The Langham Hotel's Artesian Bar in London, the Reality Check is a refreshing summer beverage featuring fresh muddled raspberries and a combination of ingredients that give it a unique herbal complexity.
If you don't have a bottle of Becherovka on hand – a Czech liqueur made with 20+ secret botanicals – you can sub in a similar bitter and herbaceous liqueur like Peychaud's, Bénédictine or Green Chartreuse.
Maybe Reality Czech would be a more fitting name. Either way, it's tasty.
