Diesel

What is Diesel?

The Diesel is a pub classic that blends two familiar favorites: crisp lager or light beer and refreshing hard cider. The result is a drink that’s smooth, lightly sweet, and surprisingly easy to sip. It’s a casual, crowd-friendly option that doesn’t rely on spirits yet still delivers personality and a touch of edge.

With equal parts cider and beer, the Diesel balances malty notes with fruity sharpness. It's an ideal choice for relaxed hangouts, game nights, or whenever you want something sessionable with a twist - no syrups, no garnishes, just pour and enjoy.

Don't forget to see what other drinks you can make with the ingredients you already have in your bar.

• Zero fuss — just two ingredients and a glass, no shaking or mixing tools needed.
• Crisp and refreshing — beer’s dryness pairs perfectly with cider’s fruity finish.
• Great for gatherings — easy to scale, affordable, and session-friendly.
