How to Make Green Beer Recipe

Are you ready to party and have everything ready? If so, then let us make some green beer right now! There are six steps, but you might be surprised. It might take you less than a minute to finish all these steps!

Step 1. Find Some Clear Beer

Most beers will work for this recipe. It does not matter if it is from a can or bottle. However, you want to consider the clarity of the beer itself. For best results, you want to get a clear beer.

Step 2. Open the Beer

Once you have your beer, you want to open it for this step.

If you are making more than a glass of green beer, you want to open every can or bottle before proceeding to the next step.

Step 3. Pour the Beer

Grab your glass and pour the beer in it. Any vessel of your choosing could work for this recipe. However, it would be best to get a clear glass to get the most out of the experience.

Step 4. Put a Drop of Food Coloring in the Mix

Here, you want to get your green food coloring. Almost any type of green food coloring can work for this recipe, but a liquid one might work best. Put a drop of it in the mix.

Step 5. Stir the Beer

Get your stirrer and stir well. You want to keep stirring until the food coloring blends with the beer.

This step generally does not take long. However, if you use gel or paste food coloring, it might take some time.

Step 6. Put Another Drop of Food Coloring in the Mix

This step is optional. If you think the beer is not green enough yet or you are after a particular shade, keep adding another drop of food coloring until you get it.

Step 7. The Final Stir

Give your green beer a final stir before serving it to make sure the food coloring has blended with the beer well.

If you use another food coloring than the liquid type, make sure you do not skip this step.

Note: Do not use too much food coloring. Generally, the food coloring will not alter the taste of the drink. However, too much of it will eventually affect the beer’s flavor.

Tips and Tricks

Choose the right type of food coloring. As you might already know, there are different types of food coloring. While every type will likely work for this recipe, some work better than others. To ensure the process is as hassle-free as possible, consider opting for liquid food coloring.
Add the food coloring drop by drop. If you are after a particular shade of green, add the food coloring drop by drop. One drop goes a long way!
Add the beer first. As you can guess, you can change the order of the steps above, but it would be best to follow them to the dot. It lessens the possibility of adding too much food coloring for your liking by doing so.
Use a glass and not a cup. Use clear glass to get the best of the experience. Using anything else would not change the taste of the beer, but it could take away from the whole experience.
The more, the better. It would be best to start with more than a glass. This way, you do not have to keep making the drink. Additionally, it would be easier to control the shade this way.
