Is it ever okay to mix alcohol with beer??

Our Ginger Shantytown is a Catamanan Cocktails origianl, but the the inspo totally came from the Death and Co.'s Shantytown recipe. The Ginger Shantytown is a VERY loose twist on a Boilermaker style cocktail. What's a boilermaker, you ask? The Boilermaker is traced back to blue collar workers over 200 years ago. They'd drink one after a long shift. By definition, it's is a shot (of whisky) in one glass and a beer in another. You can either down the shot of whiskey then drink the beer, OR, you can dunk your shot of whiskey right into your beer, and chug. In recent years, bars have been getting super creative and experimenting with their pairings. Lauren's vote is a shot of mezcal with a light pilsner. Or how about Campari with a raspberry sour ale? (Yes, please to both!). For us, we went with a freshly filled growler of Ginger Cider from the West Indies Brewery Company- AWESOME place to hang out, btw! And paired it with Blue Light Caribbean Gin and mashed up apples. Super fun and easy to make, and really refreshing on a hot day.
