Citrus

When we first tasted this drink, it was made with Rolling Rock, a mass-market golden lager, and Tropicana-brand orange juice. A more highfalutin' version would be a combination of fresh-squeezed orange juice and a wheat beer, such as Celis White.

The flavor of orange  — a natural partner for chocolate  — really comes through in this dessert-like drink. It's topped with sweet whipped cream and can be garnished with orange peel twists and chocolate curls. If you prefer cocoa a little less rich, cut the amount of milk chocolate to seven ounces.

Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less but requires additional unattended time.
