Mister Vin Diesel got me thinking about mix drinks and I wondered what names there may be for simple mixes (i.e. not cocktails) in various countries, so I've started this frivolous thread. To get us started....
beer & lemonade = shandy (Brit.); ? (U.S.)
beer & cola = ?
hot chocolate & rum = ?
beer & gin = dog's nose (Brit.)
juice & champagne = ?
BTW. What do the British call a cider with raspberry/berry juice?

beer & lemonade = shandy (bitter shandy)
lager & lemonade = lager shandy
beer & Guinness = black & tan
lager & cider = snakebite
champagne & Guinness = black velvet
champagne & orange juice = buck's fizz (I think)
"and black" means with a dash of blackcurrant, e.g. cider and black
"top" means a splash of lemonade (or possibly lime, I don't know which -- not something I do personally (yeuch) --), e.g. lager top
HISTORICAL NOTE
gin & port = flesh & blood (I found this in Georgette Heyer: it's remarkably good)

Lemonade and Orange juice is "St Martins"
Lager topped with bitter is "Golden"
Mild and Bitter is "Arf an Arf" (i.e. Half and half, for those O/S the UK)
a version of snake bite (see prev. post) known as "death bite" is made from Carlsberg Special Brew with Strongbow Cider (Whew!!! many pubs round here refuse to serve the mixture, which makes people very beligerent)

Faldage
beer & cola = ?
Gag me with a spewwn
Oh, Faldage, what your missing! It is most delicious! This used to turn my prim and proper grandmother into a dancing maniac. It is easy and quick to get drunk on it because it is sweet and pleasant.

I thought Lemonade and Orange was "St. Clements" as in the rhyme "Oranges and Lemons, say the bells of St. Clements".
A "Pauper's Black Velvet" is Guinness and Cider.
"Buck's Fizz" is as tentatively proposed twice previously, Champagne and Orange.
But I have never heard of many already mentioned.

actually, most of the libations mentioned here are not servered "on the rocks"-- (from ice looking like diamonds?)--
and in a long ago previous thread-- I mentioned that i don't like beer-- but will occationally have a little-- but over ice.
what about Gin and Organge-- Screwdriver
and Vodka and Orange -- Oranage Blossum (or is it the other way round?)
vodka and tomato -- "bloody Mary" and Gin and Tomato ??
--and any know the 3 jays? Jack Daniels, Jim Beam and Jose C..??(i think, or is it 3 kings? any one out there know-- This grandma has been known to become a bit of a maniac doing shots of 3's )
and I am one with Faldage-- coke and beer-- Its the worst of two worlds!
My own grandmother solution to "fear of flying" was a manhattan before you went to airport, a manhattan at the airport-- and when the steward on the plane said "anything to drink?" an other manhattan-- when you wake up-- you're in NY!

Either separately, OK. Together, ewww!
I have a friend who worked with troubled youngsters; one of them finished off my friend's bottle of single malt, which would have been bad enough in itself but it was done mixed with PepsiŽ.

vodka & oj makes a screwdriver but if you drizzle a small amount of Galliano over the top it makes a Harvey Wallbanger (my husbands favorite drink)

Then there is one (or two) we invented time back way back (just) after the bad time. It does have to be on the rocks since it depends on melting ice to complete the effect.
Crush Depth:
Equal parts vodka and ouzo (they naturally separate).
Pour in blue CuraçaoŽ.
When the ice starts melting you get a clear blue layer and a cloudy blue layer.
Or use red Curaçao for a Cćsar's Blood.
Beautiful looking but yucky tasting.

As an occasional drinker (  x364=I don't *drink on my birthday)... "Black and Tan" = requires an ale for the "tan". If one uses lager then it is called a "Half 'n Half" (in dis here town) satin - I seem to remember the alternative name was Harvey WallClimber (from those that had a few...)

A New England contribution :
Cranberry juice and vodka -- "Cranberry Fog"
Myself, I'm a "nip and tuck" drinker = one nip and I have to be tucked in for the night!

Kir is White wine (originally aligote but now any white wine) and Cassis; Kir Royale is Champagne and Cassis.

You are, of course, perfectly correct, Sir.
I nodded slightly at that point, thinking of the local St Martin's College, with whom I have been deally a lot, just recently.
They appear in the next line of the old song, claiming an unpaid debt of 1.25% of an old penny!

coke and milk is a step child of a "brown cow" Root beer and milk...
I learn to never complain about insomnia as child after once being offered a cure-- warm milk mixed ˝ and ˝ with warm stout.. -- the most vile stuff -- total undrinkable. (i think each, on there own is pretty bad-- together --ugh!)

Coke and milk
Funny you should say, "That takes the cake." There is a famous recipe, beloved of community cookbooks sold as fundraisers, for Coca Cola Cake, which is actually made with the stuff.

My son's own invention: pink lemonade mix in milk. It makes a curds-and-whey layered drink. Pretty colors, though.
