How good it tastes depends a little on the quality of the lager you pick. Using a good brand will make it a lot tastier.

What Does It Taste Like?

The flavor here is bitter, tart and sweet, in that order. This recipe has the feel of something created by college students on a budget, but the taste is much more complex.

When you take your first sip, you’ll notice a gentle bittersweet note from the lager. Next, the blackcurrant cordial adds a tartness that deepens the drink’s flavor. Just when you think it might be too strong, the cider comes in with its crisp sweetness, balancing everything nicely.

In short, this cocktail is a blend of bitter, tart, and sweet flavors that work together beautifully. Each sip makes you want to keep drinking.

Key Ingredients

Making a Diesel cocktail is simple, and you only need three main ingredients:

1. Lager: This is the base of the drink and very important to the flavor, so pick a lager you like. Harp is a good choice.

2. Cider: Choose a crisp and dry cider. It adds a refreshing element that pairs well with the bitterness of the lager and the tartness of the blackcurrant.

3. Blackcurrant Cordial: This sweet liqueur is what makes the Diesel cocktail special. It adds a rich flavor that really enhances the drink.

How to Serve It

Start with a pint glass filled with ice or chill it beforehand to keep the drink cold. Pour in your lager first, then add the blackcurrant cordial, and finish with the cider on top. The ingredients will mix on their own, but you can stir if you want.

To make it even more appealing, you can garnish it with a slice of apple. This not only brightens up the drink but also adds a fresh scent that enhances the flavor.
