A Queen Mary beer cocktail is a mixture of grenadine and beer, which is commonly garnished with maraschino cherries. It is typically served in beer glassware, leaving room for a generous amount of beer head which can take on a pink or cherry-like tone. This drink can be quite sweet and is best enjoyed chilled.

History

The Queen Mary was conceived by members of the University of Calgary Dinos men’s swimming team in Calgary, Canada, in the early 2000s. The drink has since become popular in North America, Europe, and Australia as an alternative to a shandy. The drink is reportedly named after Mary of Teck, Queen Consort to King George V of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions.

Preparation and serving

A Queen Mary cocktail, with syrup from the cherries drizzled on top

A Queen Mary cocktail is made by pouring grenadine into a beer glass, to taste, followed by beer, leaving room at the top for a thick layer of pink-hued beer foam. Maraschino cherries are often added as a garnish, while drizzling syrup from the cherries onto the beer foam for additional sweetness and colour, as desired. While any beer can be used to make the drink, lighter beer styles are generally preferred, such as a lager, pilsner or pale ale.
