  • In a pint glass, fill  half with lager and a third with cola.
  • Fill a shot glass with amaretto and drop into the glass

The Flaming Dr Pepper. is made with a half pint of beer and a shot, without the cola.

  • Fill the shot glasswith three quarters of amaretto and one quarter of 151-proof liquor.

Boilermaker, or beer and shot, or even called a beer and a bump.
