Ingredients
Scale
- 12 fl oz (355 ml) Blue Moon Belgian White Beer
- 1 medium fresh orange slice (about 1/4 inch thick)
- Ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
- Chill your Blue Moon beer in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours until cold but not freezing (about 38–42°F / 3–6°C).
- Rinse a ripe orange under cold water and cut a medium-thick slice (about 1/4 inch / 6 mm) on a cutting board. Remove any seeds carefully.
- Optional: Add 2-3 ice cubes to your glass if you prefer your drink chilled, but avoid overfilling.
- Hold your glass at a 45-degree angle and pour the Blue Moon beer slowly to preserve carbonation and create a nice foam head. Fill about 3/4 full.
- Gently place the orange slice on the rim or drop it inside the glass to float near the surface.
- Let the cocktail rest for about 30 seconds to meld the flavors and intensify the aroma.
- Enjoy immediately, sipping slowly to appreciate the blend of wheat beer and citrus.
Notes
Pour beer slowly at a 45-degree angle to preserve carbonation and foam. Avoid squeezing the orange slice unless a stronger citrus flavor is desired. Use fresh, ripe oranges for best flavor. Chill the glass for a colder drink. Avoid too much ice to prevent watering down the beer.
