Impress Your Friends On Superbowl Sunday With These Beer Cocktails

Mixologists are thinking outside of the can this football season and giving beer its right place on the cocktail list. Page Six Magazine rounded up their favorite beer cocktails from various bars around the area.

Our own Tiffany McElroy assisted mixologist Anthony Caporale in making three special beer cocktails: Bulldog Rouge, Beer Cassis and Guinness Float. For more on Caporale, visit his "Art Of The Drink" blog and www.aotd.tv, which has easy to follow drink-making instructions.
