The Spaghett: Miller High Life, Aperol and Lemon Beer Cocktail

A simple, no-shake beer cocktail mixing Miller High Life with Aperol and lemon, created in Baltimore in 2016.

The Spaghett, as it's known around the world, was invented by Reed Cahill in 2016, when he was a bartender at Wet City Brewing in Baltimore. He'd created beer cocktails before, usually by adding well liquor to a bottle of Lone Star or Coors Banquet. But he altered the course of beverage history when, in a joking riff on an Aperol spritz, he added the Italian aperitif to the so-called Champagne of Beers and named it after a recurring, marinara-stained character on the "Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!" The Spaghett does not require a shaker or glassware, though you can build it into a mug or beer can. But the original involves a bottle of Miller High Life, Aperol and lemon.
