Snakebite

Snakebite is a cocktail that combines equal parts of lager beer and cider. When served with a dash of blackcurrant liqueur, it is called Snakebite and Black, Purple Nasty, or Diesel. The variation that includes a shot of vodka is known as Turbo Diesel while using stout instead of lager creates Poor Man's Black Velvet.  The classic Snakebite is made by layering beer on top of the cider.

The beer is usually poured over the back of a spoon, and the cocktail is typically served in a chilled pint glass without any garnishes. Snakebite is a British pub drink that was popularized in the 1980s.
