Notes
- Don't make too far in advance or the beer will go flat.
- Go slowly with the beer to minimize the amount of foam so the beer stays fizzy.
- Freshly squeezed orange juice adds a more vibrant flavor.
- To maintain the layered color effect, a gentle stir is all you need after adding the grenadine.
