jones: you could of course mix lemonade based alcopop (shall we say smirnoff ice (which as an interesting aside is a far call from vodka and lemonade being in reality brewed by a process not dissimilar to beer)) with real beer thus producing the turbo shandy, a popular social climber in the burgeoning weekend world of tart-fuel.

But it wouldn't be as perverse and pointless as hard lemonade and soft beer...

On a slightly different tack, most spirits have a "classic" mixer - gin and tonic, rum and coke etc.
When someone once gave me a bottle of not-very-good Calvados, I found that the ideal mixer was Dandelion & Burdock. (I don't suppose I'll get that in the U.S.)

We have a clear winner! Calvados & Dandelion and Burdocks all round.
