The Golden Robot


Fellow boozers, it gets worse. Not only has The Wino not consumed any wine for several days, she is happily guzzling "Golden Robots" at this very moment. You may call it a "Shanty" (actually The Wino believes a Shanty is beer and 7-Up) or a "Poor Man's Mimosa" (aka Poormosa) but The Wino calls them Golden Robots. And they are, as you may have guessed, perfect for drinking in Mexico. The recipe follows...

- 1 cold 12 oz Mexican beer, such as Corona, Pacifico, or Sol
- 2-4 tablespoons of orange juice (fresh squeezed if you have it, but no worries if you don't)

Pour beer into a large glass and add orange juice. Garnish with a lime if you must. Enjoy.

The Wino hopes you will not be pretentious about this humble beverage and give it a try. It is surprisingly good. If you can possibly have this drink in Mexico or, at the very least, on a warm day in your backyard, then it will be even better.

Cheers!

I drank these all the time last summer, although had a heavier hand with the orange juice and PBR was my cheap beer of choice. Golden Robot is an awesome name, although I had dubbed it a "beermosa" myself.

PBR? Nice work! I'll have to try that. Thanks for your comment!
